<p>On October 23, 1956, thousands of Hungarians began peacefully demonstrating agains the communist government that had dominated the nation since 1949. The twelve days of revolution that followed marked the first mass effort to resist Soviet control and presaged the later dismantling of the Soviet bloc. This exhibit, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising, contains rare materials from the Hoover Archives and photo essays by Erich Lessing. </p><BR/>
