 "The last great wave of migration was triggered by the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 when students stood up to communism and the Soviet Empire. In the days and months following the failed revolution, more than 20,000 Hungarian were imprisoned and another 200,000 were forced to flee their motherland. In 1956 and 1957, more than 35,000 Hungarians immigrated to the United States from Hungary, usually by first escaping across the border to Austria. U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief to help resettle refugees from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956."
