General

Letter. The ordeal caused by the revolution is slowly coming to an end. Ottó can't find the words to describe the hardship he and his family went through. The most fierce fights happened exactly in their neighborhood, in the ninth district. At times, during several bombardments, he had to lay down the floor and to protect the little Ottó László, with his own body. There was no place to escape the shellings. Because of the cold he got sick and now is struggling with heart problems. Later this year Hungarians will be issued travelling passports. He asks ALG to help him, through his connections, to obtain tourist visas to either France or Germany. Hungarian
