Hi Steve. I am living in an ex-Russian colony ...As the generation of my parents (born in the end of 20s early 30s) departs I started to be interested in their generational issues. I found out that my mother was a typist at the Corvina Publishers in Budapest in 1963...working for a translator called Emil Gardos - an ex US emigré and ex KGB asset, whose family was mentioned as an Oswald-relative in the Tippit Call.
It seems to me that this Corvina Publisher edited a Cartoon book and it was sold by the widow of Oswald right after LHO's killing - and its existence only became known in 2013 on the internet. (I found it on the Educationalforum.ibphost.com in a 2019 post)
My mother's Uncle worked at the Rand Corporation (and was a Harvard Prof) among others with Kissinger.
The Director of Corvina then was an ex-KGB officer who spent more then a decade in Latin America and sponsored Castro (according to local gossips) - and was Jewish too. But all Russian and Jewish hints seem to be tabooed and censored (due to both places being very dangerous and spontanous discoveries risk a warlike setup in the media- so maybe caution is warranted.)
But I am not an expert - my interest is a family related curiosity. But i decided to write to experts - maybe some of them would be interested. I start with you.
Maybe even if you are not interested in such a minor detail - you may know some expert colleagues who should be approached with this.
