Object description

Hungarian language version of a newsreel showing events surrounding the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Bosnia, 28th June 1914.

Full description

A pan over the town of Sarajevo. People walk past debris in the streets left after the wrecking of Serbian-owned shops by angry pro-Imperial mobs following the assassination. Hungarian troops, including dragoons, move through the streets. Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie arrive by car at the Town Hall having survived the first attempt to kill them on the way there. They get out, say brief greetings to the assembled dignitaries, and walk inside. (On their drive from the Town Hall they will be killed.)
