Travel guide: Sopron, Hungary - by Melinda Brasher - Helium

Travel guide: Sopron, Hungary - by Melinda Brasher - Helium: "The town of Sopron, currently on the border of Hungary and Austria, has been caught up in many power struggles through its long history, bounced from empire to empire. In 1921, when the winners of WWI realigned borders in many of their opponents' countries, Sopron was caught on the edge again, but this time they were given the choice: did they want to be part of Austria, or rejoin Hungary? Overwhelmingly they chose Hungary. But when the iron curtain descended, dividing the east from the west, many families were split up, half in Austria, half in Hungary.

Maw and Paw's Day Dream Adventures: He who writes the history controls the history

Maw and Paw's Day Dream Adventures: He who writes the history controls the history: "We've seen lots of memorials in honor of the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Revolution of 1956 against the Russians. We haven't seen any in honor of the Second World War when Hungary was aligned with Hitler. However, we found these interesting monuments in honor of the First World War. We aren't too sure about the meaning of everything. Our little pocket tourist dictionary doesn't seem to think that tourists want to translate the writing on war monuments. Even the nearby tourist office wasn't sure, but this seems to be the message. This statue seems to honor 17,464 heroes, perhaps from Sopron, who died in battle--though that number seems high since even today Sopron has perhaps 60,000 people.
