Hungarians in America: A Biographical Directory of Professionals of Hungarian Origin in the Americas

Hungarians in America: A Biographical Directory of Professionals of Hungarian Origin in the Americas was published in 1963 as part of a broader effort to document the achievements and professional impact of the Hungarian diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. Compiled and edited by Tibor Szy, the directory serves as a comprehensive reference work that catalogs the lives and careers of intellectuals, scientists, artists, and business leaders who migrated to the Americas, largely following the upheavals of the mid-20th century.

The volume was designed as a scholarly resource to preserve the historical footprint of Hungarian immigrants during a period when their contributions were increasingly recognized in academic and professional spheres. Szy’s editorial approach focused on factual, biographical summaries of notable individuals, providing a structured archive for researchers and historians interested in ethnic studies and immigration patterns. Upon its release, it was regarded as a significant, though specialized, record of the cultural and professional integration of Hungarians into American society.
