Marta Fuchs was born in Hungary and escaped with her family to the U.S. in the wake of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. She holds a BA in Linguistics and an MA in Library Science, both from UC Berkeley, and an MA in Clinical Psychology from JFK University in Orinda, CA. Marta is a professional librarian and Director of Library Services at Drew School in San Francisco, CA. She is also a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in Albany, CA.
With her brother Henry Fuchs she wrote the multigenerational extended family memoir, Fragments of a Family: Remembering Hungary, the Holocaust, and Emigration to a New World.
Legacy of Rescue: A Daughter's Tribute is her new book written in honor of what would have been her father's 100th birthday, and a loving tribute to him and his rescuer, Zoltán Kubinyi, men cut from the same cloth of goodness.
For over two decades, Marta Fuchs has spoken in schools, temples, churches, and interfaith programs about the altruistic actions of Zoltán Kubinyi. She has also been featured in newspaper articles and television programs, and has presented at city-wide programs, conferences, and Holocaust Commemorations in the US and Hungary.
