Dear Celebrating Audience!
We are here because Gábor Bethlen is not forgotten and we do not wish to forget him in the future, either. He created lasting value in Transylvania at a time when others destroyed, made war and took what belonged to others.
Celebratory speech at the opening ceremony of the “Transylvania Region” exhibit in the Village Museum of Szentendre
Szentendre (Hungary)
In the 1980s, long before the Regime Change, a tradition evolved. Hungarian tourists in Transylvania who made it as far as the Hargita Mountains had a pine branch tucked into the grill of their car, above the licence plate. This is how they let others know where they had been. They thought it important to signal to their compatriots in Transylvania and Hungary that they had visited Transylvania. It was important for them to make this trip and communicate this to others.
