Transylvania - A Cross-Cultural History

In-Person Class | Registration opens Wednesday, August 19, 2026 9:00 AM

Explore the mystery and mystique of one of Europe's least understood enclaves, nestled into a fertile plain surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, this once forgotten jewel of Eastern Europe nourished a diverse culture of different ethnic groups, working in unison to promote democratic ideals in a hostile, feudalistic world. Discover the magic and majesty in 1,000 years of Transylvanian history, from architecture to folk arts, legends and fables, politics and history, this fast-paced study will be sure to leave you breathless.

 

As a first-generation immigrant from a Transylvanian family and a student of history, Hans Falk is able to provide a unique insight to the magical land of Transylvania, from its earliest history through to the present day. His family traces its ancestry to before the 18th century and were directly impacted by the Hungarian Revolution, the Romanian annexation of Transylvania, and the Communist takeover following WWII, as well as the modern revolution which instituted democratic reforms. Hans has presented this course to cultural groups and has multiple manuscripts detailing life in Transylvania.
