“Hungarian Refugees in Someren-Eind”
“Seventy years ago, on November 21, 1956, 139 Hungarian men arrived at a camp near Sluis 12 in Someren-Eind. The local community went to great lengths to transform the former Rijkswerkkamp into a welcoming place, where the Hungarian and Dutch flags flew side by side. The Hungarians who had fled the revolution soon found work and new opportunities in Noord-Brabant — many of them in the historic Vlisco textile factory in Helmond, which became one of the first companies to offer them employment and stability. Through their diligent efforts, they built calmer and happier lives there. On the 70th anniversary, a Hungarian graphic artist commemorates this remarkable act of kindness by the Dutch people”.
