On 20 October 2011 in the Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library Budapest an opening of the exhibition entitled “Executed cities. Poznań - Budapest 1956” took place. It has been prepared by the Branch of the Institute of National Remembrance in Poznań in cooperation with the Hungarian Institute for Culture and the Institute for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
The exhibition presents the common fate of the Poles and the Hungarians during the communist period using the example the events of 1956. The photographs presented at the exhibition along with extensive historical commentary not only recall the events of Poznań’s June and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, but also try to show how the memory of events from almost 55 years ago is present in the space of the two cities through monuments, commemorative plates, graves of the fallen.
The exhibition consists of 32 charts in Polish, Hungarian and English, showing photographs of the events of 1956 and contemporary photos of memorial sites located in both cities and outside the Polish and Hungarian borders.
The opening of the exhibition will take place at 3 pm in the Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library Budapest, VIII district, Reviczky U.1.
