The interviewee was only four years old in 1945, yet he was able to give a very interesting recollection, as he put together and revived his father‘s story based on family stories. K.F. was born in 1941 in a village in Baranya, as a native speaker and national. The first memory the reminiscences can recall from his life is the tanks marching through the village. „I am standing with one of my father‘s nieces… The tanks are coming, the Soviet tanks, in an endless line.” And the little children‘s stories connected to this. „The Soviet soldiers just made friends with me, we got chocolate.” The filming of memories was made possible thanks to the support of the International Visegrad Fund.
