| Summary: | In the 1950s around 1,000 North Korean orphans and students were studying in Hungary. The purpose of this book is to describe, contextualise and explain the North Korean students' role in the Hungarian revolution and anti Soviet freedom fight in 1956. Following the collapse of Central and East European communism in 1989, one of the many notable stories emerging about the events and background to the 1956 uprising was that many former Hungarian freedom fighters pointedly noted the help they had received from North Korean students. |
