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): Leslie Munro Sir Munro continues the letter by adding a paragraph stating that "there is sometimes a disposition among us to forget past wrongs and to wipe out hands of recent ills which we believe we cannot cure. The events of 1956 in Hungary have an eternal message which we forget at our peril. To forget is not cure".
