How Hungarian Americans preserve their heritage across generations
Over 1.36 million people in the United States identify as having Hungarian roots, according to 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data. Preserving this heritage across generations remains a central concern for communities spread across states like Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania. A recent conference in Romania explored how these ties are maintained through language, culture, and transnational connections.
The 7th Interdisciplinary Conference of the National Strategic Research Institute (NSKI) took place on 21-22 November 2021 in Székelyudvarhely (Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania). Organisers focused on the social and economic situation of Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin, with a dedicated section on 'Hungarians Worldwide and the Hungarian Diaspora'. This part of the event was led by Dr. habil. Ákos Jarjabka and Dr. Dániel Gazsó.
The event underscored the importance of generational transmission in sustaining Hungarian culture outside Hungary. With large populations in states like California, Florida, and Michigan, U.S. communities continue to rely on education, events, and transnational networks. These efforts help ensure that language, traditions, and identity remain strong across the diaspora.
