Ferenc Gabriel JOACHIM is referred to by his father the Hungarian (Magyar) artist painter Ferenc JOACHIM (1882-1964) who was interviewed in the Budapest, Hungary daily afternoon newspaper "Esti Kurir" on 15 March 1935 on page 9. The topic of the interview is how in the middle of the Great Depression the family has fallen into abject hopeless poverty and hunger with his wife Margit, and children Piroska, Ferenc Gabriel, and Attila, and how the despair has driven his daughter Piroska to attempted suicide and who is now being treated at the Rókus Hospital. The newspaper article identifies the father Ferenc Joachim as a founding member of the Nemzeti Szalon, a contributor to the Nemzeti Muzeum, and a recognized artist in Paris, Rome and Berlin. Article from "Esti Kurir," 15 March 1935, page 9.

Ferenc Gabriel Joachim (17 February 1920–23 April 1989), also Ferenc G. Joachim, also Frank G. Joachim, also F. G. Joachim, who also used the nom de plume Ferenc Karpati, was a Hungarian-born American who was a poet by avocation and a biologist and entomologist by profession. Ferenc G. Joachim, also Frank G. Joachim, using the nom de plume of Ferenc Karpati had some of his poems published in the anthology listed in REFERENCE 1. It appears that he constructed his nom de plume by using for a first name his own actual first name of “Ferenc” and then using for a surname “Karpati” which translates from the Hungarian as “of the Carpathian mountains,” where the Carpathian mountains have a historically mythical and spiritual resonance in the Hungarian (Magyar) literature and psyche. The most likely reason for him to use a nom de plume was to separate his poetry writing from his professional job as a federal government scientist. The themes of his poem had their genesis in his living through the Great Depression circa 1929 to 1939 encompassing his teenage years in Budapest, Hungary, in his viewing of the senseless slaughter of innocent persons in Budapest, Hungary during World War II by the mass murder machinery of the German nazis and their Hungarian collaborators during his university student days, and living through the arbitrary and senseless brutalization by the Russian communists and their Hungarian collaborators during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 during his young manhood years.

Ferenc G. Joachim was born in 1920 in Budapest, Hungary as the second of three children of the Hungarian (Magyar) artist painter Ferenc Joachim (1882-1964) and his wife born Margit Graf (1892-1965), which was a Roman Catholic family. His older sister born Piroska Joachim (1913-) at age 93 still survives him and is the one remembering him at the time of this writing in October of 2006. Their younger brother Attila Joachim (1923-1947), had studied at the "Képzőművészeti Főiskola" ( "Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts," [2], [3]) and graduated in 1946, [4], and also began teaching there when died at approximately age 24 due to accumulated internal bodily injuries suffered from repeated beatings by the Hungarian (Magyar) collaborators of the German nazis. All three of these Joachim children were also aware of the cold blooded murder of their mother’s two sisters, Julia Graf, Rozsa Graf, and three brothers Moritz Graf, Marton Graf, Karoly Graf and their spouses and children by the Hungarian (Magyar) collaborators of the German nazis during the 1943 or 1944 Budapest holocaust.

Ferenc G. Joachim graduated from the University of Budapest in biology specializing in entomology. [5] Ferenc G. Joachim married the born Éva Grosz (1925-1992) of Szeged, Hungary and they had a total of six children namely two daughters Éva and Erika, and four sons Tamás, János, Gábor and Michael. Following the ill-fated Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Ferenc G. Joachim and his wife the born Éva Grosz and at that time their four children born in Hungary, Éva, Erika, Tamás, János, were refugees because the parents had an overwhelmingly intense desire that their children grow up and be educated in the free world and to live in peace and justice. The family was granted asylum by Canada. Their fifth child Gábor was born in Canada when they all moved on to the USA where Ferenc G. Joachim accepted a job with the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Radiation and Metabolism Research Laboratory located on the campus of the North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. Their sixth child Michael Joachim was born in the USA. Ferenc G. Joachim, or also Frank G. Joachim, was a research biologist and entomologist for almost 30 years with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). He was a coauthor on at least two scientific papers shown in REFERENCE 2 and REFERENCE 3.

Ferenc G. Joachim died in 1989 in Fargo, North Dakota and his wife Eva died three years later in 1992 in Fargo. They both had their bodies cremated and had their ashes cast into the Red River near Fargo.
