A few years ago he was here making arrangements to copy the Hungary 1956 monument in Norwalk. This reproduction is now part of the Lajos Szalay Museum in Miskolc. Mr. Sümegi published a very interesting book. It deals with the days of the 1956 Revolution. He collected and put into a book all the radio transcripts of that time. It is the most exciting reading. It is richly illustrated by the world reknowned artist, Lajos Szalay who created the monument in Norwalk. His drawings capture the drama in a very expressive way. On this page we will show some of them. Unfortunately just a few. The book also has a section that is an international collection of a variety of art pieces dealing with the Hungarian Revolution. This book brings a powerful message about the events, and for those who were witnesses to it deeply identify with it. It is like opening the pages of our soul and bringing our memories back word by word. The book is written in Hungarian and this sets some limits, but the illustrations cross language barriers.

There was no consideration for human life. Children were shot for carrying a camera or some other toy. Women were raped and men were killed just because they were there.
