The Order of Vit\u00e9z were active participants presenting a historical exhibition of the life stories of 23 of our Hungarian heroes from around Australia. These were documented and published in a mini booklet in both English and Hungarian, a cherished representation of our honoured Vit\u00e9zes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect to our successful exhibition was the display of the building of the Melbourne ecumenical church, which was prepared by our emeritus Staff Captain, Vit\u00e9z Istv\u00e1n Vil\u00e1gos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were honoured to have our exhibition opened by the Ambassador, his excellency Zsolt Csenger-Zal\u00e1n and the Melbourne Hungarian Consul, Dr. Endre Domaniczky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All who attended were deeply moved to have this knowledge shared with them and to gain a greater understanding of the Order of Vit\u00e9z, its heroes, and their enduring contributions to the preservation of the Hungarian nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acknowledgements<\/strong>
Some exceptional Hungarians arrived on the shores of Australia after WWII and 1956. Some were already members of the Order of Vit\u00e9z and some became members later. They often endured incredible hardship and tragedy before arriving here but nearly always built successful lives enriching the Australian success story. Already, the names and lives of these people is receding into history. In an attempt to revive the spark, some short life stories were collected of our members past and present. Hopefully, the collection will expand as more and more life stories are unearthed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material was collected and compiled by Vit\u00e9z Lilla K\u00f6vesdy-\u00c1mon, Staff Captain of Australia region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grateful acknowledgement for the assistance of Vit\u00e9z noble M\u00e1ria Fekete de Gal\u00e1ntha, Seat Captain of Victoria Region and Head of Treasury of Australia, and Vit\u00e9z Caroline Fazakas, Vit\u00e9z Lieutenant for Victoria Region. And thanks go to Dr. Endre Domaniczky, Consul, Head of Post for Melbourne, for the generous offer to help with the Hungarian translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
