GuitarMania - The Hungarian Community Guitar

Hungary. October 23, 1956

The breaking point

spontaneous, unorganized eruption from oppression.

Many fought as one against tyranny, the Soviet Union.

The world rang with Hungary's cry for freedom.

Eyes were shut, freedom was crushed.

Many thousands fled

The flames of communism engulfed the nation

Yet, like a phoenix rising

the spirit of Hungary rose

reborn in other lands.

The refugees recreated Hungary in their hearts.

They planted the seeds of love and respect for the land and culture

And cultivated in their children a borderless Hungary.

The soul of Hungary and the spirit of 1956 live and breath in the generations to come.

This guitar was made possible by the generous donations of the following organizations, businesses and individuals of the Hungarian Community in Greater Cleveland. This would not have been possible without their belief and trust in the project and I sincerely thank everyone for all of their help and support.
