The photo documents real history that no political leader can deny:
The spontaneous national uprising that began 12 days before in Hungary was viciously crushed by Soviet tanks and troops on November 4, 1956. Thousands were killed and wounded and nearly a quarter-million Hungarians fled the country.
The question we in Europe are asking is perfectly clear:
