History Student Success Story: George Emms ‘highly commended’ for his essay on the Hungarian Revolution
George Emms has been “highly commended” for his entry into The Foundation for the History of Totalitarianism’s School History Essay Prize 2022/2023.
Throughout his study of History at GCSE and A level, George was fascinated by totalitarian states. Although he hadn’t written for an essay competition before, he jumped at the chance to broaden his knowledge and enhance his personal statement for university applications.
The Foundation for the History of Totalitarianism is a nonprofit organisation established to provide information and education about the history of totalitarianism. George spent several months reading, planning and crafting his essay on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
He received his award, which was presented by His Excellency Ferenc Kumin, the Hungarian ambassador, at the Hungarian Embassy in London!
