I believe he’s a Hungarian-Israeli-American because he was born in Hungary before the war, emigrated to Israel with his family after the war, and now holds American citizenship.

One question. How can this guy be a 72 year old “Hungarian-Israeli-American”? Israel wasn’t created by force until after WWII, in 1948.

Salvendy went to work in London, was noticed, schooled, and got a masters/doctorate degree there, and then got an academic appointment in the US.
