The 1956 Hungarian Revolution Portal serves to provide local organizations with a central location to promote awareness of the sacrifices made by the heroes of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution - the first nail in the coffin of Soviet communism and hegemony in Central Europe. Proudly sponsored by the American Hungarian Federation. AHF's work regarding the tragic events nearly 50 years ago, dates back to the early days of the revolution and thereafter assisting tens of thousands of refugees. In 1956 the American Hungarian Federation activated the second Hungarian Relief program for the refugees of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, providing $512,560.00. With the support of the American Hungarian Federation, over 65,000 refugees arrived in the USA. Get involved and help us continue our tradition of helping our community! Join Us!
