"The Hungarian Immigrant Experience"

Hungarian Immigrant Family in Cleveland c.1900

Suggested Background Reading

Cleveland was at one time the city with the second largest population of Hungarians in the world (after Budapest).

The recommended source for Hungarian immigration history especialy for Cleveland &NE Ohio is the book entitled Hungarian Americans and Their Communities of Cleveland by Susan M. Papp, with an Introduction by Joe Esterhas.  This history of the Cleveland Hungarian community outlines within a historical context how and why Cleveland became such a large Hungarian center and the nature of the ethnocultural community which existed and still exists.

This study is the first comprehensive history of this community in Cleveland. The 1981 print edition from the Cleveland Ethnic Heritage Studies series by Cleveland State University is available for purchase in the Cleveland Hungarian Heritage Museum Gift Shoppe.

You can also read the entire work " on line" as part of the special collections of the Cleveland State University Library entitled "The Cleveland Memory Project."
