| description |
Two dictators shaped my family’s life: Adolf Hitler and Josef
Stalin. Their respective tyrannies, as well as their immeasurable
brutality in the name of ideologies, had an impact even on
those of us born long after they held sway over their nations. My
father,who experienced the atrocities ofWorldWar II as a young boy
and teenager, went on to fight the Stalinist regime of his beloved
Hungary only to end up in the worst prison imaginable. He was
one of the lucky ones. Imprisoned for life, he was released under
Imre Nagy’s general amnesty. After the failed uprising of 1956, he
made his way to Switzerland, which became his new home. It is
no surprise, then, that politics and history were topics our family
discussed often and most intensively. In particular, we explored how
well-employed rhetoric influenced public opinion; how rhetoric of
the kind employed by Hitler and Stalin can shape public opinion
and construct authority. |
