The representatives of the Charles de Gaulle Committee and the French-Hungarian Hungarian Revolution Memorial Committee commemorated the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight participated in the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Paris.
The nearly one hundred participants walked to the tomb below the Arc de Triomphe and laid a wreath and lit a candle in tribute to the victims, martyrs and heroes of the revolution, then listened to the Hungarian and French anthems played by a military band. The Hungarian government has been participating in these commemorations since the regime change. This year the historians of the House of Terror, the Veriatas Research Institute for History and the historians of the Committee of National Remembrance laid their wreath as well.
The event series of the 1956 French-Hungarian Hungarian Revolution Memorial Committee continued with a conference where the period of retribution and the state security investigations against the insurgents were discussed by the historians of the House of Terror Museum.
