Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris Collection

The unique resource value of the collection stems from the historical fact that the continuity of Hungarian scouting established in 1910 was in fact maintained by the émigré Hungarian scouting movement worldwide for more than four decades, from 1948 to 1989, in a period when it was prohibited in communist Hungary. According to Hungarian émigré scout leaders, the movement was intended to serve a two-front struggle of cultural resistance: on one hand against the official forgery of “the real” national heritage in communist Hungary; and on the other against the linguistic and cultural assimilation of Hungarian émigré youth within the multi-ethnic environment of some 20 countries of 4 continents worldwide.

本数据集的独特价值源于历史事实：自1910年建立的匈牙利童军运动的持续性实际上在1948年至1989年这一共产主义匈牙利禁止其存在的四十年间，由全球范围内的流亡匈牙利童军运动所维系。根据匈牙利流亡童军领导者所述，该运动旨在服务于一场双线文化抵抗斗争：一方面是对共产主义匈牙利官方伪造‘真实’民族遗产的反抗；另一方面则是反对匈牙利流亡青年在涵盖四大洲约20个国家的多民族环境中遭受的语言和文化同化。” }
