Description

This book is a series of memoirs of Hungarian Freedom Fighters, who resided or still live in Texas. The Metroplex Magyar Cultural Circle (MMCC) collected and published them as a tribute to our local heroes. When the uprising was crushed, they had to flee from their beloved homeland to escape persecution. In some cases, they faced certain death by returning Soviet backed communist Hungarian government.

The memoirs of other individuals, are also included in this book, who were considered enemy of the regime because of their worldviews or religious convictions, and had to endure harassment and incarceration, therefore felt like they had to leave while they could. Others were children, who could not understand why they had to hastily leave their relatives, friends, pets and toys behind. But they all remember the journey.

As they recalled, and relived some of those moments, they were all taken over by the emotions. Their short or lengthy stories are testaments to their Courage for Freedom. At the end they all made it to America, where they found a new home, where they were welcomed and could live in peace and prosper. They are grateful for that to the America and its people.
