March 05, 2025 • The Hungarian Heritage Podcast • Season 3 • Episode 7

Welcome to this episode of the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. We are continuing our series of Celebrating Hungarian Heritage Together! As I have mentioned before, my previous guests on the podcast, Reka Bakos and Dr. Anna Fenyvesi, the editors of Hungarian Roots and American Dreams, will be my co-hosts for various episodes during Season 3, as we celebrate Hungarian Heritage Together. This collaborative series will feature guests who have contributed their personal and family’s stories in Reka and Anna’s newly released book. In this episode I am thrilled to announce that my co-host with be Dr. Anna Fenyvesi, and together we will be featuring Dr. Rózsavőlgyi’s Hungarian Heritage story titled, "The Story of a 20th Century American Peregrination and its Tragic Consequences." Along with my cohost, Dr. Anna Fenyvesi, we will also have Dr. Don Peckham, who co-authored the story with Anna, and Nóra Szentgyörgi, who is Dr. Rózsavölgyi’s great granddaughter. Listen along while we unpack the layers of research, family histories, and serendipitous meetings, as we discover why Dr. Rózsavőlgyi emigrated to the United States with his family, and why he and his family eventually returned to Hungary years later, not to mention all of the interesting things that happened after he returned.
