Description of Subject Matter: Embassy of Hungary Unveils Statue of the “Budapest Lad’ Honoring the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight
October 18, 2016 10:47 AM

On Sunday, October 16 the Embassy of Hungary, in collaboration with Hungarian-American organizations across the Washington, D.C. area, erected a statue of the “Budapest Lad” to permanently commemorate the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight on the special occasion of its 60th Anniversary.

After Soviet tanks crushed the 1956 Revolution, thousands of young Hungarians were forced to flee their country and sought out new beginnings and a new lives in the United States. The statue of the “Budapest Lad” honors their memory and the memory of Hungarian freedom fighters everywhere.

The life-size bronze statue of the “Budapest Lad” depicts a typical Hungarian student of the time holding the Hungarian national flag of the Revolutionaries with a hole in the middle where the symbol of the oppressive Communist regime has been cut out.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Minister of National Development of Hungary Mikl�s Seszt�k said that the statue “tells the story of thirst for freedom and the strength of a unified nation to stand up for its rights.” “This statue symbolizes the common desires and principles that always bonded or countries and nations together,” added the Minister.

Other VIPs who spoke and were in attendance included Colleen Bell, US Ambassador to Hungary, Zsolt N�meth, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hungarian National Assembly, and J�nos Horv�th, Ambassador-at-large and former Doyen of the Hungarian National Assembly.

The unveiling ceremony took place in Scott’s Circle at 1500 Rhode Island Ave, NW on the grounds of the new building of the Embassy of Hungary and was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and a tour of the new Embassy building.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
