Series Statement:
Eugenia & Hugh M. Stewart '26 Series on Eastern Europe
Content:
The failed 1956 Hungarian uprising was a symbol of freedom for people throughout Eastern Europe, despite the Soviet Union's attempts to obliterate the public's memory of it. James shows how since the fall of communism, museums, monuments, and holiday rituals have aided the construction of a new Hungary through the reclamation and expression of competing memories of 1956.
