Descriptive summary

On 23 October 1956, in the space of a single night, student demonstrations in Budapest turned into a true popular revolution. Violently crushed by Soviet forces, this uprising would leave thousands dead and wounded, not to mention the executions that followed the events, and drive around 200,000 Hungarians into exile.
