Today, on 2 August we remember the victims of the Romani Genocide, the Porajmos.

During the 1956 Revolution, as prime minister, Imre Nagy committed the Hungarian regime to introduce a free multiparty system, leave the Warsaw Pact, and work towards the neutrality of the country.

On 12 April, 1947 more than 120 thousand Hungarians were deported, while 80 thousand people were transported across the Hungarian borders with no chance to return.
