now the building blended in with the other houses along the boulevard. Now transformed into a museum, it not only pays tribute to the memory of the victims by housing the exhibition, but the exterior also conjures up its spirit. With its transformation, the “House of Terror” is no longer simply a building. 60 Andrassy Boulevard has become a sculpture in the shape of a building that is a monument to the victims.

      The terror’s former house demonstrates today that sacrifices made in the name of freedom are never futile. From the fight against the two murderous regimes, the powers of freedom and independence have emerged victorious.

      Again those words—freedom and independence. Few people in the world today have sacrificed more to achieve it than the Hungarians.

      I am not suggesting for one moment that Quebecers have suffered anything close to the terror inflicted upon Hungary by the Nazis or the Communists, in fact quite the opposite but what the Hungarian experienced clearly demonstrates is that there are many people in the world willing to risk everything, including their lives in order to achieve freedom and independence.

      In an effort to be “masters in their own house” more than 300,000 Hungarians were exiled, imprisoned, tortured or killed.

      Their fight for freedom and independence began on October 23, 1956 when more than 200,000 took to the streets of Budapest, tearing down red star signs, destroying Stalin’s statue and taking over the state broadcast station. They appealed to the world for help but all that arrived were 30,000 Russian tanks.

      More than 200,000 of the revolutionaries fled into Austria until their escape route was cut off. Thousands were killed. The U.S. called it a “monstrous crime” but along with the rest of the West did nothing.

      Hungarians had to wait another 32 years under the Communist yoke before finally on the 24th of March 1990 free elections were held and Hungary at last was free and independent.
