He was 84 years old. Árvéd Teleki, son of the late Count Árvéd Teleki and Countess Suzanne Kovács Teleki, was born in Cluj, Romania (formerly Kolozsvár, Hungary) on June 6, 1929. His was a true American immigrant story. At the age of fifteen, he escaped from Transylvania to avoid certain oppression under Communism, leaving on foot, in the midst of war, with only a suitcase. He emigrated to Switzerland and then the United States, where he built a new life in New York and then Houston. He was always grateful for the opportunity he found in his adopted homeland, and his larger-than-life personality made him a natural Texan. Árvéd married Ruth Shipley MacMahon in 1966, and together they raised four daughters. The family’s best memories are of the adventures he led in the tradition of his Transylvanian upbringing, especially hikes in the mountains of Big Bend and long sunrise walks on the beach. A noted economist and advisor in the oil and gas industry, Árvéd began his career at Union Carbide. In 1967, he founded Hydrocarbon Consultants, Inc., which he led for 35 years. He was then Chief Economist at Chemical Market Associates, Inc., until, at the age of 82, he “took early retirement.” He was educated at the Rosenberg Academy in Switzerland, Heidelberg College in Ohio, and Harvard Col­lege, from which he graduated in 1953. Árvéd was dedicated to his family and was a mentor to many. He is remembered for his conta­gious passion for and encyclopedic knowledge of history, politics, and world affairs; his eloquence, integ­rity, and work ethic; his spiritual connection to the outdoors, his life­long support of Hungarian causes; and above all, his love for life. His support of Hungarian causes began with his first job at the Mid-European Studies Center. In 1956, he, like so many others here, advocated for Hungary and helped settle new immigrants in the U.S. through Church World Services. He was politically active in the U.S., supporting anti-com­munist causes throughout the Cold War era. In the 1970s and 1980s, he co-founded and was president of the Hungarian-American Cultural Association of Houston. This organization was active hosting human rights activists and dissident writers in order to understand and advocate for the situation in Hungary and Transylvania during those times. In the 1990s, he was a board member of HAC and wholly supported its efforts to promote Hungary’s rejoining Europe and the Western alliances. In more recent years, he valued the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends in Hungary and Transylvania. He is survived by Ruth, his wife of 47 years; his four daugh­ters: Adrienne of Brooklyn, NY; Stephanie of Piedmont, CA; Alix and Katharine of Áustin, TX; their families, including five grandchildren; and his brother Denéb of Rio Rancho, NM. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages support of Hungarian education in Transylvania, a cause that was dear to him. Donations can be made in his name to the Calvin Synod School Fund, P.O. Box 36141, Canton, Ohio, 44735. Memorial services in Houston and West Virginia will be announced at a later date. The Hungarian American Coalition is a nationwide non­profit organization that promotes public understanding and aware­ness of Hungarian American issues.

Speaking in Budapest, Deputy Prime Minister Tibor Navracsics said, “We know that we are responsible for the Holocaust in Hungary. Hungarians were perpetrators, and victims. Hungarians were shooting, and dying. It is a huge responsibility we must face in central Europe.” Noting that it was not until 1990, after the fall of communism, that people in Hungary could talk freely about the Holocaust, he added, “We cannot pass on the responsibility.” Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid, who himself has Hungarian Jewish roots, said that, “We can never, never stop fighting against racism and hatred and for justice. It is an awful fact of life that we must battle every hour of every day.” The two were addressing a conference on “Jewish Life and Anti- Semitism in Contemporary Europe,” hosted by the Tom Lantos Insti­tute. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has declared a policy of zero toler­ance for extremism and Minister Navracsics’s words reinforce that message. Hungary’s new constitution, the Fundamental Law, includes broad provisions for battling hate speech. Under the first Orbán govern­ment, the Hungarian Holocaust Museum was conceived, the House of Terror was opened, and the annual National Holocaust Memorial Day was established. Since 2010, the government has reached an agree­ment with the Claims Conference, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum and increased compensation pensions for Holocaust survivors by 50 percent. In Csepel, a new synagogue is under construction this year, the first one in 80 years, while a new memorial site will be erected at the Józsefváros Railway Station, the departure point during the war for trains bound for the concentration camps. The government has established 2014 as the Hungarian Holocaust Memorial Year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the deportations. Meanwhile, in Budapest, once home to one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities, Jewish life is beginning to see a renaissance. “Aware of our own responsibility,” Navracsics said, “we cannot allow anti-Semitism to gain strength in Hungary.” He added, “We will crack down with legal means if necessary and, while we can, we will make sure through political means that Hungary remains a republic of good people.” ferenckumin.tumblr.com Hungarian cuisine in Glendale The country of Hungary was represented at the International Food Festival of the Vallejo Drive Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Glen­dale, California on Saturday evening, October 5. 2013. Andor & Evangeline Molnár prepared and offered Hungarian sta­ples of Potato Paprikas and Palacsinta with cottage cheese and raisins. The Hungarian booth was tastefully decorated with Kalocsa porcelain and other native curios from Hungary. A map of the country showing the different cities was on display as well. The food was very popular to those who attended the event that it was consumed in no time. Our advertisers make it possible for the HÍRLAP to appear.
