Hungarians from Transylvania, Slavonia, Bosnia, and Moldaviasettled in the village. We see how mean fate was to thesepeople, as they always had to settle right on the borderline whichin the war constantly changed hands and as a result they werealway on the move.The people told me that Dr. Endre Czeizel, conductedgenetical examinations 10 years ago and found that inEgyházaskozár still 323 people of Csángó origins live there.The village has a choir founded in 1948. Together they singCsángó and Székely folksongs. They have been around thecountry and also in six foreign countries. Their next trip isgoing to be to Yugoslavia. I also spoke to a teacher who teachesmusic and literature in the primary school of Egyházaskozár andhe told me that he teaches his students the music, the dances, thehistory of the Csángós but finds that most pupils are notinterested. An old woman told me crying that she would like tospeak about her life in Moldavia to her grandchildren before shedied, but they do not live with her and seldom come to visit.I saw statistics showing that 300,000 Hungarians live inMoldavia but only 100,000-150,000 speak Hungarian. As theyhave no schools, the parents and grandparents teach the childrento read and write. Most of the Hungarians in Moldavia livearound Bakó. According to the teacher their situation is morehopeless than during the Caucescue regime. In villages whereall the people are Hungarian the government sends Rumanianteachers and priests. Those priests and teachers who areCsángós are intimidated and they do not dare speak their mothertongue. Many times it happens that the first grade teacher leavesthe class crying since all the students are Hungarian and theteacher cannnot do anything with them. I heard that it happenedmany times that one day before the elections of the mayor, theHungarian candidate withdrew because he was intimidated.That is the reason why not even one Hungarian mayor can befound in the villages.The young people try to leave and either go toCsikszereda or come to Hungary and study here but becausethey were not taught Hungarian many of them have a hard timein the Hungarian schools. There are many who drop out andbecome prostitutes. I heard of a girl who became a prostitutethen got AIDS and died soon. Also unfortunately many whofinish high schools and universities do not go back to Moldaviabut are only too willing to stay in Hungary. Among the
Csángós the intellectuals are missing and it would be importantfor young people who have either studied in Transylvania orHungary to return to their villages and work among their ownpeople.We can say that the people who live in Moldavia have asad and difficult time at being Hungarians. Although it seemsthey do not have hope of a better future, they try to swim againstthe tide by having their own newspsaper and also in the RMDSZ(Rumanian Hungarians Democratic Association) there is aCsángó association which tries to fight for the rights of theMoldavian Hungarians but they still have a long way to go.There is also an official procedure which aims at teachingHungarian in schools as a foreign language.A couple of months ago some Csángós stayed inEgyházaskozár and on returning, one of the man wrote back tothe family he had stayed with that since his trip to Hungary hehad been interrogated by the police several times. He was nottreated violently but only searched and questioned. From thiswe can also see that peace and freedom are two rights whichstand very far from the Csángós.BIBLIOGRAPHY:Domonkos, Pál Péter.
