Budapest 2012

Pam stands next to a statue of a man standing on a small bridge in Budapest. He is wearing a hat and a trench coat and is looking pensively over his left shoulder, into the distance. The man is Imre Nagy. In 1956, Nagy was nominated by the people to become the new Prime Minister (during the uprising). When the Soviet troops invaded he was arrested (along with thousands of others) and eventually executed. He was buried in a mass grave.  In 1989, he was reburied following a ceremony in Heroes' Square.
