This was very nice :) I am a Hungarian American too and I am studying Hungarian in Budapest until December so this video actually has helped me feel part of a community, not just american or just hungarian but american-hungarian. :)
Just ran across this video. My father is Hungarian. While my aunts and cousins speak Hungarian, my father refused to speak it at home. I understand much of what others are saying, but can only really say a few phrases. I have cried many a night over losing such a huge part of my heritage. I have tried to instill a respect for Hungary in my children by maintaining customs from my childhood. My grandparents settled in Dayton Ohio and then moved to the country in Ohio to have a farm. Large Hungarian population in Ohio!
+MareXxMarija it mostly makes me sad that I lost a huge part of my families heritage. My father is an American citizen and refused to speak Hungarian or to teach me. Once my grandparents were gone I had no one to teach me. I'm proud to be part Hungarian and agree I'm lucky to have been born in the US but losing your families past for anyone is sad. Sharing my love of my family to my children is hard when so much of it is lost. I would love to speak and teach the language to my kids.
You know... seeing this as a native Hungarian, makes me kinda realize that we, who are living in Hungary, still feel a bit sad, a bit anxious in general - mostly because of the emotional and psychological 'heritage' of our stormy history -, compared to the the Hungarian communities in other countries. They always hold they're ground by living together while longing for their deep roots and do manage to live up to it. American Hungarians seem to have surpassed this kind of sadness, and I'm just smiling here, watching you blossom. This is how we all should live. Home is where you find happiness, a place is just a place after all.
I wish Hungarians from all over the world could somehow bring this healthy and blossoming community feel back to Hungary in large doses. Sadly, it doesn't seem like it at this point but let us hope for the best.
My parents and grandparents escaped Hungary in 1944 by walking across Hungary to Austria. America did not open her doors to Hungarian immigrants after WWII but did so in 1956. My mother told me that Cuba and Argentina welcomed Hungarian refugees in 1944 but not America.
I am a Hungarian American. My best wishes to fellow Americans and special greetings to my fellow Hungarians for March the 15-th! Thanx for the video! In 1973 in N.J. I knew one Hungarian from New Brunswick-Somerset area who attended flight school with me-for short time. His name was Alan Szabo. He quit as he was bored with the traditional flight training and became the undisputed worlds best drone-helicopter flyer. Look him up on youtube...He died but his son took the title from him: Alan Szabo Jr.
Excellent documentary about Hungarians coming to this GREAT country for better opportunity for a better life. This film has one of my closest Hungarian Scout friends Stephen Vajtay Jr. My parents also have a VERY similar history as depicted in this extraordinary documentary film. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The Magyars in the Canada and America are very upbeat and optimistic but when I went to Hungary they were very kind (like Norwegians) but unfortunately very sad sack in disposition. The closest term that reflects them is in the Yiddish terms of shlemiel (the incompetent one) to the schlocky ~ one whose on the receiving end of a misfortune but not of their own volition.
Unfortunately that is the inharitance from the Russian opression and communism. The general moral of Hungary is pretty bad. Corruption is high, people dont care about the public, everyone must take care of him/herself. Think about West or East Germany, or North and South Korea... But our whole country was under Russian influence.
My mother came from Hungary in 1947 to NYC. We lived in the Hungarian neighborhood on the Upper East Side. Yorkville. My mother belonged to three different Hungarian Clubs. Second Ave. between 72nd. St. and 86th. St. Where so many Hungarian restaurants bars and churches. You could buy Hungarian newspapers at the newsstand, stores that carried imported Hungarian products.
I'm an American, my wife if from Hungary and we married when she was 30. America may have John Wayne, but he is no match for the strength of my wife. Her values will never change and makes me a better man. Her friends are the same. They are remarkable people. And they will out work anyone.
That is an interesting move. My grandpa was born in Westmoreland, PA then was taken back to Hungary to be raised. As an adult they migrated to Hammond, Indiana. I’d assume as the infrastructure and population of LA grew, so did opportunities. It could have been as simple as cheap property or secure employment posted in a newspaper. Oftentimes, not only Hungarian Americans but also other ethnic groups would spread word fast about new opportunity outside of their communities. If one family or relative moved, it have them another reason to join.
My great grandparents came from Hungary in the late 1800s. Settled in Brooklyn NY & they were Catholic. Their kids were born in NY but they soon set out west to get 160 ac homestead in Oklahoma. None of the Hungarian culture was passed down.
I am having an issue with the Chicken Paprikash. Csirke porkolt. Why does it look so pale and colorless. Where is the paprika?The correct color of it is bright redish orange just as the paprika. If the person would like it more creamy, sour cream can be added, however, it would still be a soften color of red and orange. Please don't label something what it's not. And please call the dumplings . . . nokedli.Sok szerencset.
My favorite bands are: Ossian, Pokolgep, Omega, Elso Emelet, P. Mobil, P. Box, Karthago, and several others. All from Hunagry, and very very well known throughout Europe. I just wanted to watch this video to see when Magyars first arrived in Amerika, and what life was like for them there.
I am half Hungarian and half Italian and I dont speak either language. It makes me so sad that I dont know either one. Both sides of my family refused to let us learn our languages because they wanted us to be as American as possible, this way we would get better jobs and have a brighter future. If they only knew now that u get paid more if u speak a different language lol
Büszke vagyok rátok!!!! Bele való emberek az amerikai magyarok ! jó látni ,hogy harmadik -negyedik generációs magyarok mennyire tartják a tradícióikat és a nyelvet magát . A lányom félig spanyol alig múlt egy éves , de igyekszem vele magyarul beszélni annyit amennyit csak tudok , mégha nem is érti a család másik fele miért ennyire fontos ez nekem az angol és a spanyol nyelv után .
Wow brings back memories...1st born came durning the Revolution..LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND MY HOMELAND..WOULD LOVE TO TAKE MY KIDS N GRANDS THERE..BUT ID PROBLY STAY DUE TO THE CURRENT COND.HERE AND ESP.THERE..LONG LIVE 🇭🇺 AND THE USA.
This a beautiful documentary on the Hungarian-Americans of New Brunswick, NJ. Thank-you for sharing this! Please visit Ascension Lutheran Church (in person, or online:) www.LutheransOnline.com/AscensionLutheranNewBrunswick and facebook.com/pages/Ascension-Lutheran-Church-New-Brunswick-NJ/326694440686212 Ascension (Első Magyar Evangélikus Egyház) is one of the four Hungarian churches lining Somerset Street in New Brunswick, and one of the many in New Jersey's Raritan valley. The churches beautiful original architecture and furnishings reflect its Hungarian immigrant heritage, and today it sits at the center of of New Brunswick's Hungarian sites - next to the Hungarian American Athletic Club, and steps away from the Hungarian Heritage Center, the Magyar Reformed Church, St. Ladislaus Hungarian Catholic Church, St. Joseph's Hungarian Byzantine Catholic Church, the the Bayard Street, Hungarian Presbyterian (Reformatus) Church.
America is a land of immigrants even White Europeans are immigrants. As a new American from SE Asia, I believe many newer Americans faced more challenges due to being a different ethnic group, lacked acceptance, and certain opportunities. I hoped that early European immigrants understand this well and will continue to help newer Americans with acceptance in their communities. It gives me hope as I see so many successful Hungarian Americans across all sectors of American society today.
I hate it so much when American people try to pronince Hungarian words. It's so annoying and stupid. Maybe insted of guessing ask one of the "Adorable Hungarian (Oh I'm sorry I meant to say "Maghijar") Pheasents" to tell you how to Pronounce words correctly. "Magyar" is not "Maghijar".
cucumber joghurt sallad??? the F is wrong with theese ppl? we are hungarians, not from greece for god sake. cucumber sallade is made with a touch of sourcream and paprika powder, not joghurt like some cheap ass tzatziki.. also the their chicken paprikás looks awfully colorless. no paprika there for sure.
Sorry-hate it or not: He is from Hungary, his name is Hungarian, he speaks Hungarian. He is more Hungarian than many yuppies hating him. Fact-not wishful stabs.
This was very nice :) I am a Hungarian American too and I am studying Hungarian in Budapest until December so this video actually has helped me feel part of a community, not just american or just hungarian but american-hungarian. :)
In what ways do you find the Hungarian language to be different and interesting compared to English?
@@llamasarus1it’s harder for sure

Én Veszprémi vagyok de remélem tudjátok, hogy mennyire büszkék vagyunk Rátok és sokszor gondolunk Rátok! Kitartást!
My gandma was from Hungry. She went back and meet some of our cousins still in Hungry. Also live in Ohio i know few Hungrian familys around here.

+Luda I still have family in Hungary. I've never been but my aunt has gone over twice. I want very much to go. It will happen eventually!
As a Hungarian it's very good to see this, very nice people! :)

Heartwarming. My nest regards to the Hungarian community in New Brunwick as well as everywhere else in the US, whereve you might be.
That’s where I’m from, and I miss the Hungarian festival.
Köszönöm! Thank you for sharing this wonderful little documentary. Éljen a magyar!

I’m trying to figure out how my 2nd great grandfather moved from Pleasantville NJ to Los Angeles. Don’t know if other Hungarians moved with him.

For Diane and all the Palhegyi descendants...
For all others who have Hungarian / Transylvanian roots.
Hungarians should leave Europe and go back to China!
Nagyon aranyosak. :)

My mother's side is in Austro-Hungarian origin.
