Today was a memorial day: the anniversary of the 1956 execution of Hungary's Prime Minister Nagy Imre and other 227 martyrs of the Revolution of 1956.
Kossuth tér, statue of Nagy Imre |
Corvin köz
- maybe the most important strategic location of the 1956 freedom fighters |
statue of the Kid from Pest (Pesti Srác)
- many kids and adolescents partook in the fights |
Corvin köz in 1956
(archive photo from Wikipedia) (hole on the flag - blazon with soviet red star cut off - this flag is the symbol of the 1956 Revolution) |
the same location today

memorial candles

Széna tér
|
|
Kossuth tér -
I wanted to light another candle at the monument at theother side of the park but I couldn't - all the square was closed with cordons |
no way to the memorial place - cordons around the Parliament
|
all the square is closed - nonetheless it was promised that anybody can light candles all the day at the main 1956 monument
|
inside the cordon: cops everywhere
|
cordons almost reaching the underground's entrance
|
no way even to the memorial wall of the fusillade in front of the Parliament
(if you enlarge you can see the monument that consists of metal balls representating bullets lodged into the wall) |
there will be a memorial concert here but no way in for nobody... not yet
|
it's almost 6pm but nobody can go in... if you want to cross the square you have to enter through these metal detector doors
|
I couldn't go in to light my candle because I carried picture frames under my arms that was called 'dangerous' by the guards
|
OK, then I try to take some photos in hurry, before rushing home
|
mmm, toilets at the Parliament :)
there will be a memorial concert so these are for the audience |
this is my "Cordon Tourist-photo"
|
nice rhythms here
