This paper introduces a new chapter from the history of Hungarian refugees after the World War II. Salzburg had been a transit place for many Hungarians until they emigrated to other countries, most of them to overseas. The refugees spent their time in ‘Displaced Person’-camps in the city of Salzburg and even in the countryside. Based on research conducted in the archives and libraries of Salzburg and Budapest, this paper tries to reconstruct the everyday life of Hungarian refugees in Salzburg from 1945 up to 1953. My paper also attempts to give an overall picture on how people from completely different segments of the Hungarian society began a new life with the help of numerous organizations like UNRRA, IRO, NCWC, Joint etc., and how they started to work. It also describes their cultural programs and their spiritual life. János Mihályfi’s work and that of the Hungarian Caritas were remarkable: amongst many other activities they launched a self-support program (“Give, so that we could give, too.”) to support all the Hungarians residing in Salzburg. This paper delves into the conflicts of refugee life, too. According to the sources, the Hungarians emigrating from Salzburg settled down in Australia, Canada, United States of America and Venezuela.
