Figure 1.--This precious little Hungarian girl has just made it to the West in the dead of Winter, one of millions who had managed to escape from Communist Workers' Paradises. The press caption read, "Hungarian Refugees in Autria: The seasonal snow now blanketing lower Austria does mot prevent Hungarian refugees from crossing he border in large nimbers. Their difficulties re intensified by the cold. Before taking a bus to distributing nd collrctging cmpsin tghe interior, the exhusted refugees are welcomed with a warm drink and food at farm houses near the border. Red Cross nurses prepare the food on a 24-hour schedule. Photographed on arrival at the border farm-house is this little girl who was separated en route from her mother." We are not sure what she is hilding in her box. The photograph was taken in January 1957. |
