70 years ago today, thousands of Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest demanding freedom from Soviet captivity.
The revolution began with a demonstration of solidarity with Poland, where political upheaval earlier that month had raised hopes for reform across Eastern Europe.
Protesters gathered at the statue of Polish General Józef Bem, a hero of both nations.
As the Hungarian Revolution unfolded, ordinary Poles organized blood donations, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid for their Hungarian friends and neighbors.
Although Soviet forces ultimately crushed the uprising, the events of October 1956 became a lasting symbol of courage and friendship between Poland and Hungary.
