Puzzle Contest #136 with Lizzy Cseh-Hadzinsky r 1 Anna Két Iilv Tér A FEW YEARS AGO while touring Budapest with my family, I came across a small park along Wesselényi Street named Anna Kéthly Tér (Square). The time spent in that square was a mere footnote to our Magyar experiences. My brother András did a quick translation of the few signs posted in the square and learned it was dedicated to a woman who diplomatically tried to obtain help from the international community during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. With Budapest having so many beautiful green spaces, this particular tribute garden is often overlooked. Recently, I read on the internet a story about the square and its namesake’s life story. Born in 1889 in Budapest, Anna Kéthly came from a family of nine children and began work in 1904 at a garment factory. Her love for writing soon led her to a new job at a company that published magazines for women. There, she honed her literary skills as she pursued a higher education. While attending college, Kéthly became involved in politics and joined the Hungarian Social Democrat Party in 191 7. Five years later, Kéthly, now an established writer and editor, became only the second woman ever elected to the Hungarian Parliament. She held that post for over 25 years. During WWII, Kéthly escaped the Nazis by assuming an alias and living in remote regions of Hungary. After the war, she returned to Budapest to find a new and more brutal regime under Communism. She wrote in opposition to Stalinist tactics, was put on trial for treason and placed under house arrest. During the Revolution, Kéthly became a leader of her party and was appointed by Imre Nagy as Hungary’s ambassador to the United Nations. In November 1956, Kéthly attended a special UN meeting in Vienna in a futile attempt to round up international support for Hungary against the Soviets. Kéthly never returned to Hungary. She traveled throughout the free world speaking out against Soviet oppression. Anna Kéthly, a strong and forceful 20th century voice for freedom, died in Belgium in 1976. A movie was made in 2009 about her life entitled, “Last Report About Anna.” In recognition of the 60th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution, I present the Anna Kéthly Wordsearch. There are 18 clues. Each clue is about the life of Anna or the square that bears her name. Good luck and see you in November.
