Description: A temporary crack in the Iron Curtain allowed 200,000 terror-stricken Hungarians to escape into neighboring Austria and Yugoslavia following the Hungarian Revolution of October 1956. Told by an eye witness, this account relates how these political fugitives were received by the free world--fed, clothed, and comforted--and how they were introduced to a life of freedom in new lands.
