1956 Beginning of the uprising in Hungary
60 years ago, on October 23, 1956, an anti-communist revolution began in Hungary with a 200,000-strong demonstration in Budapest demanding democratic change. After the head of the Hungarian communists, Erno Gero, delivered a speech against the demonstrators, they tried to storm the Radio House with a demand to broadcast their program demands. The security forces guarding the building opened fire. Several dozen people were killed and wounded.
