Tag #136317 - Interview #78490 (Katalin Kallos Havas)

Before I was thrown out of the Party I was the party secretary at the Varga Katalin. I never spoke about the party leaders, I never praised them. I wasn’t interested in those things, but I was living and working in accordance with the communist principles. I always fought for the rights of the workers, to give them work, to ensure their salaries, I attended to absolutely everything. But I knew by then this system could neither solve the Jewish problem, nor the social problems. After Stalin died and Khrushchev [23] disclosed the situation within the Soviet Union, we came to realize that the same was happening here. Until then we were full of hope and thought we were the generation of sacrifice, and later it would all take a turn for the better. I still believed in communism, but I saw the mistakes of the communist regime, and I had a much more critical approach.
