To the fallen of Ferencvaros














The 9th District played a pivotal role in the 1956 Uprising and there is still evidence of some of the street fighting that took place between the Revolutionaires and the Soviet/Hungarian Communist forces

In the square near the flat is a simple but rather poignant memorial to those people from Ferencvaros who lost their lives in the Uprising under a very pretty, although slightly battered mosaic of a saint on the outside wall of the church

Not sure what the full text reads but will ask someone for help to translate it when I get the chance
