Chitra Katha photo poster No. 3: Hungarian refugee family (Bengali, Dacca)
A Bengali-language photo page for USIS Dacca. A headline and photographs follow a ten-year-old Hungarian refugee girl, Edith Frankel, and her family after their arrival in the United States: at the airport, a supermarket, the United Nations, a park and a soda counter. The tell is card-stacking with a testimonial: selected scenes of abundance and a family member's quoted astonishment present the refugees' reception.
