The Cultural Organization Group held a commemoration at the Memorial Stone of the Martyrs of Arad to honor the martyrs of the 1848/49 Revolution and War of Independence on the 175th anniversary of the execution of the 13 Hungarian generals.

"On October 6th, we remember the historical events that led to the tragedy and honor the martyrs by name. We bow our heads in respect and then continue on. But do we take time to reflect more deeply on these events? Do we consider that they were people just like us?" - asked Dr. Katalin Moln谩rn茅 Barna in her commemorative address. The Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs noted that the martyrs came from diverse backgrounds in terms of age, origin, religion, personality, and preferences.

Among them were not only Hungarians but also Germans, Serbs, and Croats; some were high-ranking landowners, while others were born into poverty; some were monarchists, others held republican views; some did not even speak Hungarian, and some, though of different nationalities, had married Hungarian women.

They were all victims of a retaliatory campaign, denied a fair trial, with their sentences predetermined before the trials even began. The brutality of the executions shocked all of Europe, she recalled.

The event featured performances by two colleagues from the University of 精东影业: 脡va Kruppa-Jakab sang traditional folk songs, and G谩bor Felf枚ldi recited works by S谩ndor Pet艖fi and J谩nos Arany. Afterwards, Dr. Katalin Moln谩rn茅 Barna, Lieutenant Colonel Gyula So贸s, and Oliv茅r D茅vald Varga, President of the Student Union, laid wreaths at the memorial stone.
