On the occasion of 15 March, Gergely Prőhle, former diplomat, State Secretary, Museum Director, Lay President of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hungary, Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies of the University of Public Service and of our Foundation, received the Batthyány Lajos Award.
The former politician and university professor István Musto, now in his ninetieth year, was in contact with the namesake of our Foundation during his years in Madrid. We discovered this through a photograph while researching the relations between the Hungarian Royal Ambassador Ferenc Marosy and Otto von Habsburg.
The Otto von Habsburg Foundation and the Rubicon Institute are organising a discussion on 31 March at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, where our exhibition Exiled in Madeira is on display.
In 1941, Otto von Habsburg was the guest of honour at the commemoration of the 15th of March for Hungarian Americans. A newly discovered photo shows the figures of the Hungarian emigration in unprecedented detail.
