These workers were strongly antiCommunist in sentiment but they did not have any other choice if they did not want to lose their jobs. Toward the end of 1948 the party had nearly 1 million members. This number steadily decreased during the following years. The fact that a refugee was a member of the Hungarian Workers Party does not mean necessarily that he was or is a Communist. merely that he could not avoid being a member. By escaping Hungary and by freely admitting their pasts they show that they are against the present puppet Communist regime and according to my belief are entitled to asylum in the free democratic countries. Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.
Identified stereotypes
