„Kiemelt bánásmód.” A magyar menekültek fogadtatása és integrációja a Német Szövetségi Köztársaságban (1956 őszétől 1957 tavaszáig)
The reception and integration of Hungarian refugees in the Federal Republic of Germany from autumn 1956 until spring 1957

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the reception and integration of Hungarian refugees in the Federal Republic of Germany from autumn 1956 until spring 1957. Based on archival materials, the first part describes the reaction of the Adenauer government and the West German authorities to the refugees and the measures taken to integrate about 14 000 Hungarians who wanted to stay and work in Western Germany. The second part analyses the basic reasons for the highly successful integration of the group, referring to their relatively low number, their social structure and professional abilities, the sympathy for the Hungarians in the fiercely anti- communistically minded Federal Republic, the strong determination of the Hungarian refugees to work and integrate into the Western German society as well as the common European cultural background.
