The History of Hungary

The Hungarian city of Budapest's communist statue 'graveyard' opened on 29 June 1993.

Statues representing communism were not destroyed, instead they were relocated to a specially designed park on the outskirts of the city.

Laura Jones has been speaking to Judit Holp, who runs Memento Park.

This programme has been updated since the original broadcast. In the original version, we said Budapest is in Eastern Europe. We should have said that it is in Central Europe.
