The 1956 Hungarian Revolution by the BBC

- The Hungarian Revolution of 1956, taken from the BBC's "History File." The 1956 Hungarian Revolution was the first tear in the Iron Curtain. Hungarians from all walks of life rose up against insurmountable odds to fight the brutal Soviet-installed Hungarian communist government. Thousands died fighting, others tortured and executed, while 200,000 were forced to flee.
My father spent 5 years in prison - from 1951-1956. My mother spent 1.5 years in a psychiatric hospital. They escaped in November 1956. My mother was pregnant with me. Their horror and eventual success in making my life as pleasant as it has been is something I will never forget and something I will always be willing to talk about. I am a Canadian.
your name in Hungarian is
Krisztián János be proud that you have Hungarian blood ;)
My real name is Szoges Janos. But that is not even it. It was changed in 1943. My mother was the true Hungarian - her name was Ondok. My middle name is Christian. I am not a Christian. peace.
+John Christian peace brother ! Öndök
Most likely he deserved it. Nobody asked him to play hero
What an ass you are. My parents tried to get out of the country in '51. They were caught. They committed no crime. But in those days the Soviets made the rules and ...yes...they broke them. Unless you were there you don't have much to say. I find that those with the most opinions are those who are the least informed.
Hungarian Bravery will always be remembered
love from Poland
Thank you Alex
My grandpa was one of the fighters in the revolution. I’ll never forget the stories he always told me about how he fought tooth and nail and started to win until the Russians brought in tanks to snuff out the uprising. RIP Gyorgy Meszaros 🇭🇺
Glory to the Red Army!

I know our countries have had a... troubled relationship, to say the least. But as a Romanian, i just wish to congratulate Hungary for the bravery of standing for what they believed in. The revolution in 1956 was the first sign that communism cannot last in Central/Eastern Europe.
And i do hope we can leave the past behind and learn to at least respect each other. Regards, a romanian from Transylvania.

s casino - Thank you for your kind comment! :)
Thank you my fellow neighbor for your kind words, I do hope too that we can leave our childish argument behind and stick together as true european brothers, greetings from Budapest.
The problem with the fact that the Romans hate Hungarians better than Hungarians and Romanians is that the Hungarians have more reason to hate them !!! Sorry !
@@adrianhegyi8616 Unfortunately you are right! How can we forget the past when Romanians are still so much against Hungarians? Sajnos igazad van. Hogy felejthetjük el a múltat ha a románok még mindig olyan magyarellenesek?
My greatest and deepest RESPECT and love to Hungary and Hungarian nation, never gave up their motherland in fight against devilish red bolshevism, never surrendered without a fierce and bloody defense neither in 1944-45 nor in 1956 ! It's not important to win, but so crucial to show the spirit and the heart ! Let the souls of victims be always with you during all challenging times, like the one we go through these days... CHEERS from Slovakia
I’m proud of my full Hungarian heritage
You really can. What a unique nation!
Today (Oct 23, 2017) is the anniversary of the start of the revolution. My parents escaped in 1956 and I was born in the US. I'm slowly watching many of these videos to learn more details about this event. While the revolution was crushed, I'm so impressed with the Hungarian people to take on the Soviets. Amazing! I've been fortunate to visit Hungary twice. Beautiful country and a fantastic people.
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless
my grandfather was in this revolution as well, he lost his his entire family because of the communism and the famine within, he first he was willing to go to USA, but the ship was left and he did get in time, so he came to São Paulo, Brazil in 1957 with his sister and brother in law. He passed away june 24th 2020 at 82 years old
God Bless Hungary! Love from Poland

Rev Snowfox exactly! Well sad, Rev.
hahaha ukraine! Your allied slaveowner called U.S.A. don't help Hungary in 1956!
My dad Rudolf Jakab born September 10, 1932 was a Freedom Fighter, he escaped to Italy. 😔🙏🏻💖R.I.P.
My grandma is first generation American. Her mother was from Budapest and my grandma remembers hearing about the revolution on the radio and her whole family gathering around listening for reports or any news. They thought it was a disgrace that America would abandon Hungary in its time of need. Never forget. Much love from this Hungarian-Polish American.
Forever brotherhood of Chinese republic(Taiwan) and Hungarian people.
The US and UK were constrained by the reality and dimensions of the Cold War; to send NATO troops to Hungary could have triggered an immense war with the USSR that could have reached an apocalyptic scale. The US certainly took this into consideration. The Hungarian Revolution was also brief and lacked a clear leadership, so the logistics of how to aid this dispersed movement likely presented unique challenges.
My late father fought the Soviets in 56. He never told all he went through, he only revealed bits and pieces. He escaped on foot to Austria then to France where he found transportation to Canada. I will always remember his terror on his face upon remembering what he went through.
My father was a young army officer cadet in Budapest in 1956. He was heavily involved in the fighting and promised to one day tell me exactly what he saw then and during the siege of Budapest in 1944-45. He was never able to do that. It was too upsetting for him. He was 19 years old and died 4 years ago after a happy life in the UK.
Apám fiatal katonatiszti kadét volt Budapesten, 1956-ban. Hevesen részt vett a harcokban, és megígérte, hogy egyszer majd elmondja, mit látott akkor és Budapest ostromakor 1944-45-ben. Soha nem volt képes erre. Túl idegesítő volt számára. 19 éves volt és 4 évvel ezelőtt hunyt el az Egyesült Királyságban töltött boldog élet után.
My late Father was a freedom fighter in 1956 and had to escape Hungary to save himself. He was a table tennis champion. My mother escaped after him and I am writing a book about all this. I was 2 years old and was tragically left behind. I was not allowed to join my parents until 1962. Their story is amazing as they ended up one in London and one in Paris and searched for each other for many months. My mother was given £1 by the Red Cross and she went to London to join my Father.
Brave Hungarians. Greetings from Turkey.
As Kurt Hahn, a German-Jewish educator, once commented in a radio broadcast about the 1956 Hungarian Uprising: "It has been drowned in blood, but spiritually it has been victorious." I couldn't have said it better. God bless Hungary and its brave, resilient people! 😉🤗❤💭💚😺🙏✌👋
This is the most accurate one about '56! Good job!
I had 3 of my uncles fighting for freedom. One of them was jailed for 6 years since he was too young to be executed. The other two escaped to the west. I will always be proud of them.
ALWAYS STAND UP FOR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE ! ! !
Respect from Poland! Polak, Węgier dwa bratanki!
God bless Hungary my great grandma was from Hungary she and my grandfather left year's before all of this.

Chicken Wilson The documentary, right? :-)
Hungarians greeted THE russians as liberators? Hahahahahahaha no they didnt.
My grandfather spent 2 years in prison, and he did nothing to deserve it. You know you hear they say "that will come and get you in the middle of the night to take you away and not tell the family where he is going or when he will come back" That's what happened to him. When he was released from prison my mom said she did not recognize him. My grandfather died 2 years later and a result of the torture.
köszönöm! thanks, the bottom of my deep natives Hungarians hearth
I never got to learn hungarian when my grandparents were still alive so I never got to hear the stories of why they came to America. They had 4 daughters one of them being my mom. They were separated when around the time I was able to remember them maybe around 3. They were always very nice and happy to see me but I never knew at the time that was what they felt they had a sadness about them but were surprised to see their grand kids which i hope made them happy because im grateful for them. Now I know that they were probably sheltering my mom and her sisters and so they sheltered me and my siblings as well. I love what they did for us but I just wish I could have known them better and it breaks my heart what they had to go through and that they were strong for us so that we can have a life to live that they had taken away from them.
My grandparents escaped across a frozen river into Austria in 1956
Mine too!
Mine also
Shame n the West for not supporting the Hungarian people
My grandfather had to flee a few years earlier. He helped his jesuit teachers to escape the country by hiding them in a fake battery box underneath the train cars. He fled the same way after he had been discovered. He carried the nickname "Mester", which means master in Hungarian.
I grew up in Germany, where he ended up settling down and marrying my grandmother who also fled from Hungary. Now I study in Budapest and work on improving my Hungarian skills! I may be mainly German and only have German citizenship, but I will never forget that the roots of my family on the fathers side lie in Hungary!
Köszi szépen apu, hogy megtanítottál erre a gyönyörű nyelvre és kulturára!
The Hungarian Revolution really should have been taught more extensively in schools. We'd be teaching more people the issues the communist regimes had that even the people were willing to revolt.
Instead we have people trying to desperately defend and enact an ideology that already proved its failures and shown its true colors in this Revolution. The Hungarians proved communism/socialism are horrible and don't uphold their promises.
Respect from the United States
Fiction really does make more sense than reality. The fact a completely unnarmed organisation could take control from heavily prepared invaders is incredible.
To the point that the Soviets 'let' this happen as part of long range strategy
This is the power of the armed and organized working class!
hungary was opressed from 1670-1918 and 1945-1989 they had 3 revolutions in this time 1703 1848 1956 hungary longs for indepence
There will be another one I hope..... Im hungarian and most of the nation had enough. The only thing is that most of the people are brainwashed or afraid to fight. If there will be an uprising ill fight till im dead!
@WhyOWhy Joined it willingly, and doesn't leave it, even tho it could. Hungary recives a lot of money from the eu, and opens up a lot of possibilities for the people of hungary. Claiming that the eu has negatively impacted hungary is just objectively wrong.
I am *not* an admirer of Richard Nixon, but one good thing he did when he was Vice-President under Eisenhower was to condemn the fact that "The Voice of America" and "Radio Free Europe" encouraged the Hungarians to revolt against the Soviets, only to be met by Silence when the expected help from the West never materialized.
I am proud of my Hungarian heritage!
Ignite send me here, Long live freedom in Hungary!
The price of freedom, is worth to me
I want to add my father fought in the revolution, Geza Cserni, He would not talk about how many that he killed or the details of what he did, but that he did kill, and he drank heavily for the rest of his life to cope with the memories of what he did and saw it.
My grandparents lived in Hungary during world war II as a child and my grandma has lots of stories of the nazis and soviets invading her small town and she even had a bunker in her backyard and then during the revolution in 1956 she and my grandpa fled and came to America
So it were useful to know more details....
People from Hong Kong can learn a lot from this video.
Every. Single. Time.
What courage these people showed. Bravo!
19:36 that glorious Hungarian jawline doe.
Thanks to the video now i understand my assignment huhu🤧
I was there as a young boy, it was terrible stress and fear from the bloody communist Russions. How dare they be allowed to take over free people? I appreciate now what my parents went through to risk escape to Austria in December 31 1956, they lost everything.

Just a note: A turning point in the Revolution was when the Hungarian Army under Pàl Maléter sided with the people.
It's true that the soviets won, but they severeley removed communism from Hungary.
Only a few ideological facts remained in Hungary.
Hungary was the first that left the Warsaw Pact.
Was this documentary during the time of the 1956 and from the BBC archives, if so, please could you give me the full reference of this, as i am planning on using it for my dissertation.

i remember my great grandfather alsmot killed in the war because someone tought that he was working with the enemy, but kind people saved him, he and my great grandmother was also sent to prison in russia when stalin was still up, my grandfather was also a solider in stalins time.
terribly sad that Hungary got no help from England and france and America. all got involved in the wretched suez canal. such brave people and I remember reading about it as a child.
How were the UK and the US supposed to help Hungary? Roosevelt and Churchill had agreed that Hungary was part of the Soviet sphere of influence after WW2. And also the USSR had nuclear weapons. So nobody was going to go to war over Hungary. Imagine trying to convince Americans in the 50s that they should risk nuclear apocalypse over Hungary. No way.
My grandad left Hungary to Britain
The Soviets had left Austria peacefully without a shot being fired in the early 1950s. There was a Catholic priest Fr. Petrus - a Franciscan friar who had led prayers for Austria to be liberated from the Soviets. He led rosary processions in the streets of Vienna.
Pretty disgraceful what Orban is doing today, when you think of the history
*Until 33 years later: Revolution was Reborn.*
Orban has forgotten this in his dealings with Putin
Irish Druid Well said! Orban was a long-haired hippy applauding when the Soviets left Hungary in the early 1990's. Now he's nothing but a puppet to Russia.
+Irish Druid You forgot that Russia 2016 is not Russia 1956 USSR. The new Bolsheviks relocated themselves to the west. There is no PC in Russia or Hungary but there is PC in Ireland. By the way enjoy gay marriage.
+poligon333 Is that so? Then I suggest you look after what the Russian mainstream thinks about 1956! I think you will be surprised.
Jason Brody We have a common enemy and we have to find common ground. A nation can survive standing armies but can not survive its traitors from within. The leftists are traitors pushing for total destruction of nation states dismantling its values, culture, religion and ethnicity. Look at Sweden, just in twenty years it become unrecognisable. Indeed a nation can be destroyed only in one generation.
poligon333 Azt hiszem igencsak meglepne, ha tudnád, hogy magyar vagyok. Ez az egyik. A másik, hogy Oroszország mit sem változott 60 év alatt. Ugyanis nem tudom tudsz-e róla, de az orosz mainstream média 1956-ot úgynevezett "Színes forradalomnak" bélyegezte meg. (Színes forradalom: A nyugati titkos szolgálatok által pénzelt neonácik által vezetett társadalmi megmozdulásokat hívják így. Az orosz média szerint minden a befolyásuk ellen irányuló társadalmi megmozdulás így 1956 is ilyen volt.)
Anyone know of any documentaries on the Hungarian Revolution that was not made by the BBC? Can't seem to find any. :(
I know a few. But its in hungarian. Actually I can download one and translate it. After I can upload it with english subtitles if u realy interested about it.

Gabix696 Please do it. I think Ukraine is overrated. This should get more views.
My uncle Gyula Bognar was in the war against the Russians and their allies and was deployed to the East while he was still training as a soldier. He told me how he mowed down the invaders from the church tower until the tanks became overwhelming. He was also very angry with the Western powers who, despite many calls for help from the government at the time, did not respond. As it turned out later, none of the staged uprisings were supported by the West, except with words, neither in the GDR, Hungary, Czechia and all the others.
Respect from Turkey
"American Hungarian Federation" So why didnt USA help those "rebels"? I think the right conditions were not met??
tatarqa the problem wasn’t that the US didn’t want to it’s that they couldn’t reach hungary due to its position
@@quinnchesser8034 NATO could enter Hungary through Croatia, Slovenia & Austria; the real reason of NATO's passivity was that the West didn't have (and to this day) doesn't have enough power to bully Russia; that's why they let Russia take Crimea from Ukraine
@@ireneuszpyc6684 NO OIL.
@@carbidegrd1 Japan also has no oil but Americans made a huge effort to conquer it, because Japan is quite big & important to contain Russia & China, while Hungary is small, so it doesn't matter much
@@ireneuszpyc6684 Japan attacked the US otherwise they would have stayed out of the war and simply profited from it.
The british "documentarists" and uncle sam marines didn't even put a soldier's step on the city to free it from the nazis, and due to paradoxes of history, uncle sam is the welcoming new-god of the new Hungarian generations. History needs to be rewritten with neither communist or imperialist distortions.
Should Eisenhower be condemned for his lack of action?He came into office promising peace.Yes,peace but at what price?This was ano-win situation.
Hey, it was what it was, lot's of positive events came out of the s...t. My family and I were here experiencing exactly what this shows. I was only 3 so can't recall consciously much at all. :) We did escape though, in 2 stages.

This is quite a good documentary. I was a baby when we fled Hungary after the uprising. We fled Communism but we also fled the Arrow Cross thugs who rose up in the chaos and came out threatening to kill Jews and to throw their bodies in the freezing Danube as they did before in the dying days of WWII. Anti Jewish comments such as below show the true zenophobic nature of too many Hungarians. Yes, some deluded men of Jewish origin thought that the Russians freed Europe from the Nazis and that Communism was a better way to go but more knew that to be just as bad, especially as the former Arrow Cross fascists were active in the Party - as was to be expected. I will never understand why many survivors of the Holocaust remained in Hungary after their neighbours so enthusiastically cheered their deportation to the Death camps or on the forced marches.
+Agnes Dunn And today, the descendants of neighbours blame Jews using pretty much similar rhetoric as Arrow Cross did. Based on conspiracy theories and unproven, antisemitical nonsenses. Kind of sad. And kind of dangerous.
+Nela Jungmannová.Thank you Nela for your supportive comment. Yes, extremely dangerous developments in Europe. So hard to believe that young people are so ignorant of history. Another example is the Greek fascists who ignore their own country's terrible experience under the Nazis and are actually using the Swastika!
No one cheered when their neighbours were deported. A lot of Jews from Poland and Hungary survived thanks to Admiral Horthy not being a puppet to Hitler and resisting him until he could. He never bought into the whole Nazi thing. If Hungarians were cooperative with him they wouldn't have been invaded by Germany. Hungary had no army after WW1 thanks to the unfair Treaty of Trianon how do you think one protects a country without one against the most developed military at the time? What about the Hungarian genocide after WW1 and WW2? Just because Hollywood doesn't make an Oscar winning movie about them every year doesn't mean their lives don't matter...
I take your point Dora and in many respects Horthy did his best as a patriotic Hungarian. Whilst he did not want the Hungarian Jews deported, anti-semitism in Hungary was a terrible thing and started with great enthusiasm very early. Sadly, lots of people did cheer when their neighbours were deported and were upset when some survivors had the audacity to come back to their looted homes....this from the personal experiences of my own family and many Jewish friends.
***** Well I guess different experiences create different opinions. When Horthy got re-buried in Hungary there were a lot of wreaths there from Jewish people who were grateful to him for saving their lives. Also my grandfather told me that where he lived(Veszprém county) no one was antisemitic and people were helpful towards Jewish people and no one wanted them dead. Also my grandfather was 15 years old when he had to sign up to serve as someone's apprentice and after the war he was shipped around in Western Europe and had to work in a few countries as a kind of "redemption". The Dutch kicked him off the moving train, he was starved, only got a blanket an a tent in the winter, soldiers made them run with them firing behind them. When he was finally returned to Hungary he was 47 kg/~180cm. He basically went through the same things Jewish people and the supposedly "good ones" did this to a teenager. Whoever said that history is written by the victors was right, this is the same reason Horthy gets demonized when he doesn't deserve it. I personally consider him the greatest Hungarian of the XXth century with Count Teleki.
Communist? the Hungarian People's Republic was not communist, it was a criminal regime installed by Stalin. In fact the 1956 uprising was far more genuine communist, then western history books portray it. Nobody called for a return to the Kingdom of Hungary, nobody called for a capitalist economy and rule of markets. All revolutionary fighters wanted political freedom and this include control over their own state and economy. Workers councils were already created in October 1956 as they drove the Stalinist state managers out. Workers controlled the economy by managing the state enterprises themselves. This is socialism, genuine socialism which Marx and Lenin called for. But anticommunist organisations in today's Hungary portray 1956 as right-wing nationalist and anti-leftist, when it reality it was a proletarian uprising calling for democratic socialism and not western style capitalism. As much as the current capitalist government of Hungary can distort this fact, in October 1956 the working class had control over their own nation and economy, for the first and sadly only time in Hungarian history!

Pure nonsense from start to finish.
It's immoral for a Socialist like you to try and hijack an Anti-Socialist revolution, an actual "people's revolution", to exploit it in order to spread lies for your narrative.
The Hungarian People's Republic was indeed, a Communist/Socialist state. You made another mistake; failing to understand that Stalinism is Socialist. You're in denial of this fact because of the usual "tHaT wAsN't ReAL cOmMuniSm" delusion.
Hungarians were getting rid of Socialism, not fighting for it.
"nOboDy cAlLeD fOR" You aren't in the position to say what people were calling for, as you clearly have no idea what 1956 was about and you're only here to exploit people for your narrative.
In Hungary and other countries infected by Socialism; workers didn't get to do what you like to imagine. The Socialists kept normal people as slaves.
"This is Socialism, genuine Socialism which Marx and Lenin called for." Yet another falsehood.
In reality, 1956 has always been Right-Wing and has been acknowledged as such by virtually everyone but you. Those who fought it are one of the "anticommunist organisations" that you fear so greatly.
In actuality, 1956 was never about "calling for" Democratic Socialism. Quite the contrary, actually. Strange how you're the only one who doesn't accept this. It was about getting rid of Socialism. Obviously that includes Democratic Socialism along with Revolutionary Socialism. Hungarians didn't want Democratic Socialism either, and why would they when it's even worse than Revolutionary Socialism in the long run? Look at how bad Sweden has become.
"As much as the current capitalist government of Hungary can distort this fact," Ironic, considering the only one trying to distort events is you.
"for the first and sadly only time in Hungarian history!" Yet another falsehood.
It's sad to see a revisionist try to lie about this event, but it's obvious why you'd try. That's the Socialist propagandist behaviour that we are all too familiar with. Always against the truth. Always "fighting" for what's wrong.
Something about us Finno-Ugrics and fighting against USSR, eh?

Slavs like Slovaks call it Budapesht but its bullshit. Its Budapest.
Its prononced with a s in english. You're tlaking about the hungarian prnounciation.
The Hungarians had the heart and courage to stand against the legions of the Soviet Empire, knowing full well that defiance would mean death.
Sadly, the Soviet Empire was just way too powerful at the time, and the Hungarian people had to wait for their freedom from the yoke of Russia.
