We have not made much progress in assessing decade trends during the Soviet-impossed Communist era following World War II. Our primary source of information is the photographic record and ourr Hungarian archive is still very limited. Here we see a school scene during 1951 on the previous page. The boys are not wearing uniforms. The economy seems to be recovering from the disaster of World War II. One boy has come to school barefoot, but earlier the numbr of such boys would have been much larger. Here we see a much more prosperous school group a few years later, probably in the late-50s. The school is unidentified. The boys look to be about 10-years old. We are not sure just what impact the Hungarian Revolution had (1956). We do not think there was a major impact on the economy. There was some damage in Budapest when the Red Army tanks rolled into the city, but major industrial sites were unaffected. We do not have many images from later in the Communist era. Thus we are unabke to sketch out any basic trends yet. We hope to acquire some images as HBC expands its school section.
