A book of interviews by freelance journalist Ildikó Antal-Ferencz was published by Bocskai Rádió, Cleveland. The subjects of the thirty-seven interesting conversations are American Hungarians: former or current leaders and representatives of churches (Catholic and Reformed) and civil organizations (foreign Hungarian scout teams, weekend schools and school camps, clubs, traditionalists and folk dance groups), entrepreneurs or artists - many of them are highly regarded members of our Foundation. The volume provides an insight into the life of Hungarians in America, and presents their tireless work for several decades, with which they work for the survival of the Hungarian community.

The author says about her volume: "I conducted interviews about the American Hungarians I personally met, their past and present, the joys and difficulties of their daily lives, the preservation and transmission of their intellectual heritage, presenting the current development of the fate of the Hungarian diaspora in North America (mainly for the time being on the East Coast) and expected future....The persistence and exemplary community involvement of the presented American Hungarians - which are the keys to the survival of Hungarians in America - can be a multiple role model, inspiration and confirmation for all of us....At the same time, it is proof that the only guarantee for the survival of Hungarians is the Hungarian language, culture and family traditions and community-level preservation and care, as well as close cooperation between organizations..."
