Kádár's childhood

János Kádár, the former first secretary of the MSZMP, was originally called János Csermanek and was born in Rijeka. Much is known about what happened to him after World War II, but little is known about his youth and hardly any information about his childhood. The 21st century has traced the first six years of his life, which he lived in a small village in Somogy County, Kapoly. Many people in the village still remember him, but no Kádár cult has developed. In fact, in the 1980s, the county party committee wanted to build a memorial house for him. The building still stands today, but it is now in ruins.
