A Szabad Magyar Egyetemisták Szövetségének iratai – Várallyay Gyula gyűjteménye, 1957-1967

The Union of Free Hungarian Students, UFHS (also referred to using the Hungarian acronym, MEFESZ), was a worldwide association of Hungarian refugee students who had fled to the West after the revolution in Hungary had been brutally suppressed by Soviet tanks in late 1956. For a decade after the revolution, the UFHS represented some 8,000 Hungarian students in sixteen countries on three continents. It held yearly congresses, self-organized study and cultural programs, international press campaigns, protest demonstrations, and solidarity actions in order to ensure that the democratic and patriotic spirit of the revolution survived. In the Fall of 1956, Julius Várallyay, a second-year student at the Technical University in Budapest, was one of the most active and devoted leaders of the émigré student movement. He was elected president of UFHS in 1959. Sixty years after the defeat of the revolution, he donated his collection of UFHS records, until then had been stored in his Washington home, to the 1956 Research Institute, Budapest.

自由匈牙利学生联盟（简称UFHS，亦称MEFESZ），系全球性的匈牙利难民学生组织，成员们在1956年匈牙利革命被苏联坦克血腥镇压后逃亡至西方。革命后十年间，UFHS代表遍布三大洲十六国的约8000名匈牙利学生。该组织每年举办大会，自行组织学术与文化活动，发起国际新闻运动，组织抗议示威以及团结行动，以确保革命的民主与爱国主义精神得以延续。1956年秋季，尤利乌斯·瓦拉利，一位布达佩斯技术大学二年级学生，成为流亡学生运动中最活跃、最忠诚的领导者之一。1959年，他被选为UFHS的主席。革命失败六十载，他将一直存放在华盛顿住所的UFHS档案资料捐赠给了布达佩斯的1956年研究机构。
