Memory and Exile: World War II and Cold War, Czechoslovak and Hungarian Examples

Sat, November 22, 8:00 to 9:45am EST (8:00 to 9:45am EST), -

Session Submission Type: Panel

Brief Description

An exploration of the relationship between individual and collective memory and the realities of migration is not fully possible without intensive examination of the experiences of individual exiles, of refugee groups formed in exile and their leadership, as well as examination of the interaction and communication within national groups formed in the diaspora. These three papers examine Hungarian political groups working in ideological polar opposition to each other in the last two years of World War, Czechoslovak emigre groups and their media connections around the globe post 1968, and the journey of a Prague intellectual from Communist to Counterrevolutionary. These papers will provide us with wide ranging examples and new research into Hungarian and Czechoslovakian exile activities.
