Welcome to this episode of the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. For this first episode of season 3, I had the pleasure of speaking with Reka Bakos, and Anna Fenyvesi, and they are the authors of the book, Hungarian Roots and American Dreams. Their book is a compilation of people telling stories about their Hungarian family members who emigrated to the United States from Hungary, and some who also returned to Hungary. We are going to discuss how their book started out as an idea about researching their own family trees and sharing stories about Hungarian Heritages. Then, shortly after Reka and Anna met, the stars aligned for them and they collaborated to transform the collected stories into a new book that is dedicated to preserving and sharing the histories of Hungarian immigrants and their descendants. Listen along as we explore all of this, and so much more.
Below, you will find information about how you can connect with Reka and Anna and for how you can purchase a copy of their new book. If you have feedback or questions about this episode or you would like to connect with me at the podcast, you will also find all of the ways to contact me below.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
