This Garden is a part of the only collection of multicultural gardens in America. Help improve the Garden with your tax deductible donations. Please contribute along with other members through the William Penn Association Foundation.

Youngstown remembers the fight for freedom YOUNGSTOWN, OH — . WPA members joined their fellow Hungarian Americans at the Franciscan Friary in Youngstown Nov. 4 for a memorial service honoring those who died during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The annual commemoration, presented by the Freedom Fighters Chapter of the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation, began with the singing of the National Anthem and the reciting of prayers for the fallen heroes, offered in both English and Hungarian. László Polgár recited a poem about the uprising, written by Paul Kantor. Maria Schauer then spoke about “the little remembered heroes of the 1956 revolution: the unknown children who fought alongside their older brothers, sisters and friends.” She said no one knows how many children died, but it estimated about 4,000 boys and girls were arrested after the fight. Many were held prisoner until they turned 16, when they were executed and buried in unmarked graves. After the service, guests carried lighted candles to the 1956 memorial (shown above) where a wreath was placed. A reception followed in the social hall where guests enjoyed gulyás prepared by Miklós and Nicholle Schauer, along with coffee and pastries.(Photo by Frank Schauer) William Penn Life 0 December 2012 0 15
