Description
Summary:Records of this digital collection were assembled to document the work of the UN Special Committee on the Problem of Hungary established on January 10, 1957 by the United Nations General Assembly for the purpose of investigating the 1956 Hungarian revolution. Principal contributor(s): United Nations Special Committee on the Problem of Hungary József Értékes was asked questions relating to his testimony the day before, the participation of the workers of Csepel in the fighting and his short visit to Hungary after he left the country. István Buri, Commander of the National Guard at Csepel, gave a statement about the fighting in Csepel, including one occasion when seventeen people who had already surrendered were killed by a Russian unit at the Gubacsi bridge. Witness Z, member of the Independent Smallholders' Party, was asked about his party's agrarian policy, the political persecutions during the Rákosi era, and Imre Nagy's policy during the revolution.
