Hungarian refugees

Hungarians were the first significant refugee group to settle in New Zealand after those displaced by the Second World War. They fled their country after the failure of the 1956 uprising against the Communist government. The Hungarian refugees pictured here arrived in Wellington in the late 1950s.
