| Tartalmi kivonat: | British and American Quakers (who call themselves Friends) extended relief work to defeated Austria and Hungary in 1919, working with the American Relief Administration European Children’s Fund until 1922. British Friends returned to Hungary in 1939 to administer relief to Polish refugees, while American Friends launched their second Hungarian project in November 1946. Working together with the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) after both World Wars the Quakers became celebrities in Hungary and received the Officers’ Cross of the Hungarian Republic’s Order of Merit in 1947, the same year they were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The American Friends were forced out of Hungary in the spring of 1949 by the very same communist leaders (of 1919 experience) whom they publicly defended despite the fact that they viewed Bolshevism as a threat to society. |
