Hungary's Fight for Freedom, 111a: Rise and Liberate the Oppressed (Chinese-English poster distributed in Manila)
A blue poster with a photograph of a crowd gathered around an overturned tram in a Hungarian street, headed 'Hungary's Fight for Freedom'. The Chinese and English slogans call on viewers to rise and liberate the oppressed. The tell is glittering generalities: 'freedom' and 'liberate' carry the appeal, while the photograph is used as testimony for the uprising of 1956.
