Mr. Speaker. as we know. in October of 1956. a student demonstration In Budapest started the Hungarian Revolution. The revolution was crushed by the Soviets within a matter of days and the aftermath for the participants involved in the uprising proved to be brutal. It is estimated that 150.000 people were deported. Even today. the fate of many of these people can only be surmised. Many other freedom fighters were left no choice but to leave Hungary if they wanted to live. As they were primarily students. the Hungarians who left were young people. some as young as 14 years of age.
