Hungarian Museum Lecture
2 PM
Cleveland Hungarian Museum
Galleria Lower Level

Dezso Kosztolányi was a Hungarian poet, writer, journalist and translator. Joseph Reményi was a Hungarian writer who served as professor of comparative literature at Western Reserve University. The two men had a lively correspondence and Reményi’s many observations on the Hungarian community in 1920’s and 30’s Cleveland are an invaluable source on the life of our Cleveland Hungarian-American community.

There is a bust of Reményi in the Hungarian Cultural Garden!

Presented by James V. Pavlish
