OPTIONAL TOPICS OF OUR HISTORY LESSONS
1. Hungary during World War II
The lecture presents Hungary’s role in WWII. The presentation is enlivened with maps and photos about true, undistorted events, human fates and decisions, which led to the devastation of Budapest. During the program the history of the Hospital in the Rock is given special attention, enriched with eye witnesses’ reminiscences.
2. Rescuers – Forgotten heroes
Learn about the horrific events of the Holocaust in Hungary and some of the lesser-known individuals who often risked their own lives to help their fellow human beings. Who were they? What did they do and why? How did their fate turn out? Discover the extraordinary stories of Gábor Sztehlo, Friedrich Born, Giorgio Perlasca and other unfairly forgotten heroes!
3. The 1956 Revolution
The lecture provides an overview of the 1956 revolution, its meaning and impact. During the lesson we examine how the peaceful student demonstration evolved into a fight for freedom, what was Imre Nagy’s role as the prime minister at that time, and how these events influenced Hungary’s history.
4. The A-Bomb – the past and present of nuclear threat
The aim of this lecture is to discuss the past and present of nuclear weapons in the world. Students get acquainted with the details of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the possible effects of the currently available nuclear weapons in order to draw attention to the untold nuclear threat existing today.
5. The Cold War
A lecture befitting the spirit of a former nuclear bunker. In this lesson we cover the history of proxy wars and the nuclear arms race between the USA and the Soviet Union from 1945 till 1991.
