Fülszöveg


On October 19, 1956, forty-three students, representing all Budapest universities, met clandestinely in a meadow outside the city to form a Free Students' Council. This meeting set ofF a human explosion that shattered Hungary and shook the world.
This diary by one of the students — who is now in Canada — illustrated with his own on-the-scene drawings, will endure for a long time as a precious human document which, in telling of the passionate and significant sacrifices of brave and dedicated people, gives all other men more reason for living.

By LASZLO BEKE
Edited and translated by Leon Kossar and Ralph M. Zoltán
Laszlo Beke is the pseudonym of a young Hungarian art student who was one of the organizers of the Budapest protest meetings that triggered the Hungarian revolution. He was a leader of the freedom fighters who, sometimes with guns and sometimes with little more than their fists, stormed the radio station and the headquarters of the dread secret police and battled Soviet tanks against incredible odds. He witnessed the dramatic return of Cardinal Mindszenty and was among the student representatives who vainly conferred with the leaders of the government. Only near the end, when it became irrevocably clear that the Russians were once more encircling the city for the ultimate onslaught, did Laszlo Beke and his pregnant wife make their perilous escape to refuge in the West.
In this diary, reconstructed from his notes and sketches after he finally reached Canada, he vividly and dramatically recounts the events of those catastrophic days and nights. His story is simply told: the revolution as seen by a student who helped to start it and who helped to lead it. Yet few will read this small volume as merely the timely report of an absorbing recent event, for it is a deeply moving document of human strength, culminating in the triumph and tragedy of men struggling to be free.
The author's illustrations give added emotional impact to his story.

FROM ^ SteceCett^ 'Dcanz^:
The men, women, and children of Budapest began writing a diary in blood at 11 p.m., October 23, 1956, when the first bullets fired by Hungarian AVH secret police screamed through a crowd of thousands jammed in front of the Radio Budapest Building. They struck the signal for the most heroic and desperate outcry for freedom the Hungarian nation has seen in a thousand years.
But my personal diary of the revolt began one week earlier. I can remember four months of student unrest before the actual revolt flared up, but details of student action began to crystallize October 16.
I am in Canada now. My name — my real name — is on the Communist roster of most-wanted persons in Hungary, as one of forty-three students who organized the Free Students' Council, which later became the Students' Revolutionary Council.
I am not a writer, and I never wanted to be one. But now, in the warmth of Canada's freedoms, I have tried to piece together student activities before the revolt struck, and the heroic fight of the students, workers, and young people I witnessed during the first week of battle, when Hungary's candle of freedom burned bright for a brief moment, then was snuffed out.
The tragic, majestic battle of Hungary has compelled me to set down on paper everything I can remember about the revolt, with the aid of sketches and notes I brought with me to Canada. Vissza
