yesterday 11 jul at castle hill..
My host Tamas Matinovich and another Tamas Dede, (you say this as Tamash..) were sitting in the cafe, from 1829 on castle hill and filling me and radhaji on some hungarian history. it seems the Bishop of Austria, in the end of 16th century said he would make the Hungarians into German, into catholics and into beggars.. .
Such strong words... that they echo even now... the sting remains in every Hungarian, that someone should say this..
And the Hapsburg emperors when they came tilted the cross on the crown of Hungary. The crown is not just a crown but a person. And it had power, the power of the Hungarians.. The people have power of the past. And Austria tried to destroy the past of Hungary.
Tamas 1 and Tamas 2 spoke one sentence each, unplanned, and intoned the history of Hunagary, apologising for telling us why this was so important to them... it was so moving and sad.
