When the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 broke out, Szörényi actively participated in the events. After the November 4, 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary she left her country with her family to escape communist persecution and settled with her husband, István Örményi, and three sons, István, Tamás and Gábor, in Los Angeles.

In exile, Szörényi played an active role in the World Federation of Hungarian Freedom Fighters (WFHFF). She vowed not to visit Hungary until the last occupying Soviet soldier had left Hungary. When that happened, she returned to Hungary for the first time in 1991.

Since 1957, Szörényi has organized fund-raising events for WFHFF in the form of literary evenings, such as regular Széchenyi Tea parties and others. An active member of the Hungarian Freedom Fighters, she became the president of the Remember Hungary 1956 committee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the revolution.
