After members of Vitezi Rend broke Paul Gorka out of prison during their failed 1956 attempt to topple the country’s communist leadership, he found refuge in the UK. From London, Paul Gorka worked for the British government, helping them vet anti-communist émigrés arriving from Hungary. Young Gorka’s mother, Susan, found part-time work as a translator to Irving, the Holocaust [denying] historian. She was credited as an interpreter in his 740-page tome, “Uprising! One Nation’s Nightmare, 1956,” which portrayed the CIA and MI6-backed Hungarian rebellion of 1956 as a worker’s insurrection against a corrupt communist leadership, which happened to be disproportionately Jewish.
