Contents Summary
Posters such as this, showing that the spirit of resistance lived on in Hungary, were appearing on walls and trees in Kispest on the outskirts of Budapest, since Dec. 1 1956. The posters attracted large crowds, but during the daytime no counter-action was taken by the police, who waited until nightfall before trying to remove them. Photo shows: Black flag with text which says Dec. 4, 1956. It was exactly one month earlier that reinforced Soviet troops cracked down on the Hungarian freedom fighters.
