Back to the 8th District. We stumble along the rubble, closing up to the armed freedom fighters. We find ourselves in the middle of the action... The uprising is in disarray, nevertheless the goal is one and shared by all. OCTOBER 25.THURSDAY In the afternoon, ten minutes before one o'clock, the sound of the Hungarian National Anthem flows through the broken windows into the streets. The state controlled radio is doing the broadcasting... The battle-worn berets, school-caps, hats A destroyed railroad car in Széna Square of the people in the streets are taken off. Its like cease-fire now. Tears are rolling down the tormented Hungarian faces... The situation became overwhelming. We took to the streets where only the shadow of death was accompanying us. Inevitably, on the Horváth Mihály Square, there are tanks watching the unattended surrounding streets. Hiding in a gateway, the camera takes a picture of them. The most fearsome phases of the freedomfight are to come. Yet, we are not frightened, we are practically obsessed! The main boulevard (Körút), the Corvin- Alley (-Köz), the streets of Prater, - Kisfaludy, - Vajdahunyad, - Futó, - Nagytemplom and their vicinity are all spread by the destruction of buildings, humans, animals, and - Soviets! OCTOBER 27. SATURDAY Standstill. It is the eye of the storm. Pictures of history must be taken. A reporter from the free world who happened to come across us, is asking about our opinion relating to the fights. The answer An American car wrapped with the American flag.

In the background an upriser s flag is put into Árpád ’s hand at the Heroes Square (the multi-lingual education now really pays off): “If the West is not helping us, it just may happen that the Hungarians shed their blood in vain” (at this very time president Eisenhower of the United States was running for his second term ...!?). We were walking around in the city. Is it, indeed, a good omen to see an American car on the Üllői Avenue?... Not too far huge letters painted on the store shutters scream out in Russian: “Russians go home!" We walk to the Buda-side of the capitol. There we see a destroyed railroad car, turned over, reminding us of the heavy fights on Széna Square. ■OCTOBER 31. WEDNESDAY Everything is pretty quiet. We're going to the Hero’s Square (how appropriate!) where a Kossuth flag is placed into the Conqueror Arpád's statue’s hand. Near the NOVEMBER 4.SUNDAY ...It is over. The reappearing hordes of Soviet devils came down upon us while the worn-out people slept. They are destroying, killing more savagely than ever before. We are numb. We have no water, and no electricity. We are in the basement. The food and everything that escaped the battles are upstairs in the building that has been constantly shaken by the barrage of the enemy. We are hiding for days. Soviet tanks are rumbling outside, their occupants shooting mercilessly into all windows in their sight. The gang of Khruschev and the liar/traitor Kádár carried their “glorious putting-everything-in-order” into effect. Their shame will live forever! Just as the golden pages of the history of Hungary, remembering the Freedomfight of 1956... On the 23rd of October, 1956 the journalist Zsuzsa Szegő witnessed a man among the demonstrators bending down to his child telling him: “Watch carefully! And, when you grow up, tell everybody that the Hungarians are not just any kind of people!... The house of the Egervári family suffered extensive damage. Square there are pieces from the tom down "monument" of the robber/mass murderer Generalissimus Stalin. Seen the few days before, the monster was tilting to the side, now it is gone. The boots are still there being good only to holding another Hungarian banner. Page 7
