Resistance against Communism in Poland and Hungary, 1945-1989 -- Based on the Memories and Memorabilia of the Lecturer.
György Szönyi


This will not be a heavy scholarly lecture, rather a light, illustrated version of political and cultural history. My main purpose is to share my knowledge and personal memories of a period in two countries with our mix of international students, many of whom know little or next to nothing about those years in our region. The speciality of the talk will be the rich visual material - including many of my own vintage photographs - with which I am going to illustrate my presentation.
