Laszlo Varju escaped Hungary
in 1957 and later became a doctor in the U.S. Air Force. Not long after
reaching the United States, though, he became a member of the
Hungarian-American Rifle Association.
“The paramilitary was founded by Zoltán
Vasvári, a WWII veteran, in order to gather young and ambitious Hungarian
émigrés. Yes, we indeed prepared for a possible liberation of Hungary from the
Soviets, and I was an active member of the roughly 150-strong crew. As a matter
of fact, the State of New York gave official recognition of the group’s
operation, which consisted of get-togethers and military training (marching,
shooting, river crossing etc.) on Vasvári’s farm in Pennsylvania. And thanks to
the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, we had no problem obtaining
state-of-the-art firearms.”
