Back of the Hungarian Guitar

The text on the back of the guitar reads:

Hungary. October 23, 1956

The breaking point
spontaneous, unorganized eruption from oppression.
Many fought as one against tyranny, the Soviet Union.
The world rang with Hungary's cry for freedom.
Eyes were shut, freedom was crushed.
Many thousands fled
The flames of communism engulfed the nation
Yet, like a phoenix rising
the spirit of Hungary rose
reborn in other lands.
The refugees recreated Hungary in their hearts.
They planted the seeds of love and respect for the land and culture
And cultivated in their children a borderless Hungary.
The soul of Hungary and the spirit of 1956 live and breath in the generations to come.

The Guitar drew lots of attention from visitors
