This website is being built in memory of Dr. Elemér Balogh, a US citizen who gave his all to improve the lives of the people, churches and economy of Hungary before and after the 1989 escape from communist rule. He received the highest award for service to Hungary and the Church from the Catholic Bishops Conference - Pro Ecclesia Hungariae. He was also a patron of Protestant churches. He was truly "Egy Magyar Ember".
There is a Hungarian song that contains the words:…gyönyörü szép Magyarország ... legszebb ország a világ...which roughly translated means: ... beautiful lovely Hungary... the prettiest nation on earth.
The Hungarian (Magyar) nation is a unique blend of many beautiful and interesting cultures dating back thousands of years. It has had a codified sense of equality and justice from the time St. Stephen founded the Hungarian Kingdom in 1000 AD (until ruled by various communist governments and Soviet domination). Hungarians havemade extraordinary contributions to medicine, science, mathematics, computers, literature, music, education, movies and of course have fantastic food and wine.
The rich history of Hungary will be described in a later section.
Hungary Today Historic Vote for Change
Congratulations to the Hungarian People for excercising their right to vote and to the Fidesz-KDNP parties and to Orbán Viktor for their history making victory in the elections. We wish them well in restoring moral values and creating a flourishing economy.
This site will shortly be dedicated to improving trade between US and Hungary, as well as providing cultural and economic news about Hungary and the US.
In memory of Dr. Elemér Balogh, recipient of the Pro Ecclesia Hungariae award for service to Hungary and the (Catholic) Church. He was also a patron of Protestant churches. Copyright (c) 2009
