Following the Soviet occupation of Hungary in 1944, local, Ethnic German women are taken from their small village, loaded into cattle wagons and forced to work in coal mines under inhuman conditions at a Ukrainian labor camp. Here, Irén meets fellow prisoner Rajmund who decides to teach her how to survive. While she is determined to return home to her daughter and family, history and fate have a different plan: Irén and Rajmund fall in love. Eternal Winter is based on true events and is the first Hungarian feature film about the 700,000 Hungarian victims of the Soviet labor camps whose stories have remained untold for over 70 years. - Hungary Today
A holocaust that should be remembered along with the horrific WWII holocaust. Two nightmare events.
Turkey was no slouch in creating it’s own holocaust. Killed 1 million of its neighbors. Even did crucifixions of young women, crosses that ran on and on.
There was Bosnia also. And then that Hutu/Tutsi thing in Africa.
Chinese killed a lot of folks.
Pol Pot..
Boy humans can be a nasty bunch sometimes!!
We saved Western Europe twice and The Great One defeated communism for 100s of millions of people.

At the time, the only mode of an information flow, other than the state propaganda, was cassette tapes. There was no Internet. Reagan's speech was recorded over and over and passed out like crazy. All through the Soviet Block.
I had a family member (now long deceased) who was a brand new lieutenant in the Hungarian army when the Nazis overran Hungary.
“First ve throw away all our collar brass and put on the Nazi crap. A few veeks later ve were on our vay to the eastern front. I vas wounded and sent home. Then the Russians came and things got worse.” (The family escaped in 1957.)
“I vas born a Hungarian, but I vill die as a proud American Ceetezen.” (And he did.)
Prisoners in Hungary who suffered under NAZIs and Communists said the Communists were even worse.
Anti communist movies are rare but a few exist. Glad there is another.

The Germans have just killed 28 million people there. Who else had to mine coal? Locals were still at frontlines.
It is good to see movies coming out that cover more than the One Genocide the Left Wants to be Seen as Caring About.
