Page 4 MAGYAR HERALD 4th QUARTER, 1992 The Book Corner The crown lands ofhistorical Hungary are again in the spotlight; yes, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Transylvania, Voivodina, Burganland, and Carpatho-Ukraine. If you were educated in American schools or in Hungarian schools after 1949, it is very likely that you have not had the historical perspective given to you which would enable you to better understand and evaluate what is going on today. This means that one has to develop his own historical foundation through reading. We suggest a few of the many books available because of their style, veracity, and the fact that they were written by Hungarians. A History of Hungary by Dominic G. Kosary. The Benjamin Franklin Bibliophile Soc. 1941. History of the Hungarian Nation by Steven Béla Várdy of Duquesne University, 1969 Danubian Press. Faith and Fate by F. Somogyi and L.

From personal experiences, I have deducted that not many Hungarians live in my area. As a matter of fact, it would be very unusual for me to encounter someone of the same nationality as me. When I would tell my friends that I was Hungarian, they would be astonished. In a way, it made me feel special Being a proud Hungarian, I would introduce my friends to Hungarian food or attempt to teach them simple Hungarian words or how to count in Hungarian. As a result, my friends were truly intrigued. Though I was different, it did not bother me. I enjoyed being different. For many years, I traveled thirty miles every Sunday to attend church. I used to attend Sunday School until I received my communion and was confirmed, following my confirmation, I taught Sunday SchooL During Christmas, I would go caroling with my church; and when there were festivals, I would help bake Hungarian pastries which were sold at the festivals. Events (Continued from page 3) John's Hungarian Greek Catholic Church in Solon. Featured will be our Hungarian-American heritage with small exhibits, a documentary film of Toledo, Ohio, as presented by Peter Ujvági, and typical ethnic food.
