Medical students are shown clearing rubble from the inner court of their college in Budapest in this January 1921 photoprint, issued by the World's Student Christian Federation. The caption card blames the damage on Bolsheviks, a reference to the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, which collapsed that summer amid fighting and foreign intervention, though this record does not verify the attribution. Hungary was in severe postwar distress, and the federation, a Christian student organization, circulated images like this to show students working to restore their institutions and resume their studies.
