The 24th episode of the Hungarian History Podcast is live. đ§
In these gloomy November days of 1956, the Soviet tanks had already crushed the major centers of resistance. Across Budapest, the fight for freedom was fading, sustained only by the sporadic, isolated gunfire of the last remaining freedom fighters.
We’re continuing our special series, “Voices of ’56,” dedicated to the personal stories of the Hungarian Revolution and the diaspora that followed. This is the 4th sub-episode, and I sit down with new guests whose powerful messages of courage and legacy need to be heard. Let’s meet Emma, Steve, and Stephen from England…
The response to this series has been incredible. This focus on personal stories is resonating globally, helping our community explode to over 54,500 followers. Most impressively, our content now reaches over 1.5 million people every month. Thank you for helping this living history travel so far!
This is more than history; it’s a living archive. My mission is to ensure these stories are never forgotten. In our next episode, we will take a step back to provide crucial context. We’ll present a comprehensive summary of 170 years of Hungarian emigration.
Understanding this broader historyâthe waves of leave-takings and the diasporas they createdâwill allow us to place the “Voices of ’56” into a deeper, more meaningful perspective. It is the essential backdrop to appreciate the stories of our future guests fully.
