DescriptionAfter the Soviets suppressed the Revolution in Hungary in 1956, approximately 200,000 Hungarians fled the country. Many Hungarian refugees came to New Jersey, some of whom were housed at Camp Kilmer, a military post near New Brunswick. Many members of the nearby Rutgers University community worked to help the refugees. In this document, the National Academy of Sciences announces its establishment of an office at the refugee center at Camp Kilmer. The point of the office is to interview Hungarian scientists and engineers in order to evaluate their areas and levels of expertise. Based on the evaluations, the Hungarians will be assisted with employment and research opportunities.
