In 2015, Andrea Lauer Rice (author, multimedia producer) and Réka Pigniczky (journalist, documentary filmmaker) founded the Memory Project. To date, they have traveled to 15 locations in the United States, Germany and Hungary and conducted more than 130 interviews with Hungarians who emigrated to the United States following the defeat of the 1956 Revolution and after World War II. Recently, they expanded the project to include Hungarian Americans with fascinating stories about their upbringing and Hungarians who have inspirational and unique stories across the world. This is the Visual History Archive of Hungarian Emigration.
