The Hungarian Revolution Memorial ????
•
the HMR was created by sculpturist Gyuri Hollosy in tribute to the heroism of Hungary’s citizens.. It was erected in 1986 to recognize the unsuccessful Hungarian Revolution of 1956. In October of that year, students had begun a short lived revolution against communist occupation. They had believed that they were to be assisted by Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, but that help never arrived. Thousands of people died in that uprising. Hundreds of thousands of supporters of democracy subsequently fled Hungary to world ports, including Boston.
