“I’m Afraid of Americans (Hungarians). I’m afraid of the world. I’m afraid I can’t help it.” -David Bowie-Thanks for reading Roland’s Newsletter! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. My paternal ancestors immigrated to America from Hungary around 1890. They lived through the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49 and the Hapsburg reprisals that followed. Great Grandma Ethel died in 1981. Fortunately, my ancestors were out of Hungary before Nazi Germany and Soviet communism swallowed up Central Europe. Ethel lived in the same home as my father and her six chaotic Catholic grandsons (now all recovering Catholics except for one).
