One of the most tragic events during the Revolution of 1956 in Hungary was the volley-firing in Mosonmagyaróvár. On 26 October 1956, 1200-2000 men unarmed arrived at the barracks of the immigration officers singing the national anthem, reciting the "Szózat" and singing Kossuth songs. Immigration officers for the AVO instructed by the captain István Dudás set up machine guns and light machine guns right away.

Over 100 students, most of them of the ages of 15-200, fell victim to the bloodshed. Anger caused by the volley led to lynch-law and the death of three AVO men. The tragedy is still hard to overcome by many of the relatives and the citizens of Mosonmagyaróvár.

Our chamber exhibition intends to remember the event by way of photos and objects of the occurrence.
