Contents Summary

The box contains prints of photos documenting Eva S. Balogh's life. The prints are organized in two sections: "Hungary (mostly before 1956)", and "Austria-Canada-US (after 1956)". The 101 prints (plus 3 duplicates) in the "Hungary" section portray Eva Balogh's ancestors including her parents, Lujza Pfeifer and Dezső Balogh; relatives and friends; (presumably) Eva Balogh's family's house in Pécs; as well as Eva Balogh's peers from kindergarten, school, and high-school. Some of these prints likely originate from the small album of pictures contained in Box No. 2 of this archival series (HU OSA 460-0-2:2). The 65 prints in the "Austria-Canada-US" section showcase Eva Balogh's personal and academic life after leaving Hungary. Of special interest are the handful of pictures showing the Weissensee (Carinthia, Austria) house, where she spent her first months of freedom waiting for her Canadian refugee visa to be issued by the Canadian Embassy in Vienna, and the picture of the airplane with which she first landed at Montréal Airport in February, 1957.
