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. The appearance of the Iron Curtain, which one immediately associates with "concentration camp", largely determines the picture the West has formed of present-day Hungary. For the majority of Hungarians, Communism is simply a specific form of Russian rule. Always a Western country, Hungary still looks to the West, no matter how hard its rulers are trying to rivet it to the Eastern Bloc. Excerpts from the Swiss Review of World Affairs. Vol. XI, No.2, May 1961.
