History

The monument was financed by the council of Csepel, a district of Budapest, Hungary, on the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, as a acknowledgment of the aid of Szczecin inhabitants to Budapest population during the revolution. It was proposed by Szilárd Németh, a member of the National Assembly of Hungary. On 23 October 2016, in the 60th anniversary of the revolution, the identical statue was placed in Csepel. Both statues were made by sculptor Richárd Juha. The statue was unveiled in Szczecin on 9 December 2016.[1][2][3]
