NATIONAL MUSEUM EXPLORES 250 YEARS OF HUNGARIAN-AMERICAN CONNECTIONS : A COLLECTION THAT HONORS MANY INCLUDING TONY CURTIS AND ZSA ZSA GABOR
Excerpt: The Hungarian National Museum officially opened its new exhibition, The American Dream: Hungarians in the United States, 1776–2026, commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence and celebrating the enduring relationship between Hungary and the United States. Through stories of migration, achievement, and shared democratic values, the exhibition explores how generations of Hungarians helped shape American society while maintaining strong cultural ties to their homeland, underscoring the themes of freedom, opportunity, and perseverance that have connected the two nations for nearly two and a half centuries.

IMBD - FILM DATABASE - JAMIE LEE CURTIS PAGE
The daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, who I've blogged about in relation to his Emanuel Foundation work, is also through her marriage to Christopher Guest, a Lady of the British Empire - Lady Haden-Guest. She has a son and daughter and has written 8 children's books. Known for her amazing feminine physic, and some interesting and excellent film roles with three films coming up, my favorite thus far being the wife of the Arnold Schwartenegger's character in True Lies, where she acts as the wife who needs an adventure and does a very sexy but silly and clumsy strip tease, she seems to have accomplished a happy and stable marriage and family life, and with her Hollywood background, that's saying a lot!

TONY CURTIS AND THE EMANUEL FOUNDATION FOR HUNGARIAN CULTURE
BOHEMIANINK : TONY CURTIS LEAVES A LEGACY IN HUNGARY link to full article and pictures...
EXCERPT:
"So saddened to hear about the death of Tony Curtis yesterday. In Budapest, Curtis, who is of Hungarian descent, is as well known for his generosity as he is for his movies. In 1998, he founded the Emanuel Foundation for Hungarian Culture, a New York-based organization that works for the restoration and preservation of synagogues and 1300 Jewish cemeteries in Hungary.
Within the confines of Budapest’s Great Synagogue exists the Tree of Life Holocaust Memorial, funded by the Emanuel Foundation, in memory of the 600,000 Hungarian Jews who were murdered by the Nazis. The tree, which is made of stainless steel and silver, is fashioned to look like a weeping willow. The shape of the tree resembles an upside down menorah. Inscribed on its 4000 metal leaves are the names of Hungarian Holocaust victims. And on the top of the black granite double archway that sits in front of the tree, a Hebrew inscription asks: “Is there a bigger pain than mine?”
Updated February 2021 I'm sorry but I don't find the link... The name Emanual Foundation brings up a different organization. Some years have passed. So maybe the work has been completed. October 2022 Since this is a popular post, I tried again to find the TONY CURTIS EMANUEL FOUNDATION and it does not appear. From past research I know it was located in Brooklyn New York. For those of you intent to find this foundation, perhaps Brooklyn is the place to look. Another idea is to get in touch with Jamie Lee Curtis...
