Its opposition to nazism in the thirties and forties. and its outspoken opposition to communism today are familiar stories to most Americans. As spokesman for the oppressed peoples of Hungary today. for those enslaved behind the Iron Curtain. the federation is almost totally responsible for the mood of keen sympathy and understanding among all Americans. The record of its work in behalf of Hungarian refugees is most impressive. In the wake of the abortive Hungarian revolution of 1956. the federation helped more than 35.000 refugees immigrate to the United States. The federation also sponsored some 22.605 Hungarian refugees in America following World War II. Between 1945 and 1952. the federation sent aid to Hungary and to Hungarians living in Western Europe to the tune of almost $1.5 million. Its relief action in the aftermath of the 1956 attempted revolution amounted to some $512.500.
