Hungarian Escapees Describe Terror in Hungarian Uprisings
About 200 University of Bridgeport students heard first hand accounts from George Linzi and Laszlo Makik of the 1956 uprising in Hungary. Linzi spoke of Stalin statues, secret police, and torture. Makik described aid shortages and occupation tensions. The pair, with identities kept, outlined escape routes to Austria and plans for studies in Bridgeport.
