This podcast chapter offers a personal account of an Hungarian émigré's life in Australia between 1957 and 1967, chronicling his family's adaptation and his efforts to integrate while preserving Hungarian identity. The author details their reluctant but eventual acceptance of Australian citizenship, the challenges they faced in securing professional work despite qualifications, and their involvement in establishing Hungarian community institutions like a football club, nursing home, and cemetery. A significant portion highlights the internal struggles and divisions within the Hungarian diaspora, particularly concerning assimilation versus cultural preservation, and features a powerful speech reflecting on the enduring patriotic duty and sacrifices of exiles.
