CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />Michael Savaryn, a law student at the University of Alberta, delivered the sixth Institute seminar in Edmonton on January 16 with the presentation, "The Response of the Ukrainian Canadians to the Displaced Persons Situation in Europe". He examined the responses in Edmonton's<em> Ukrainski Visti</em> , edited by the late John Esaiw. The speaker quoted from a number of editorials which both appealed to Ukrainian Canadians for funds, clothing and other supplies, and pleaded with the Canadian Government to allow largescale immigration of Ukrainian refugees to Canada.<br /><br /> Research on the life of the Ukrainians, who scattered throughout Western Europe after World War II in terrible fear of forced deportation to the Soviet Union, is scarce. Little is known about the number, qualifications, and plans of the refugees, and there is little evidence about how many were in fact deported, and how many managed to find their relatives or refuge in different countries. However, one fact is clear: their fate evoked a great deal of sympathy from Ukrainian Canadians, who even visited them in the Displaced Persons camps. The late Anthony Hlynka, a Ukrainian M.P. from Vegreville, Alberta, spoke on their behalf in the House of Commons. The actual amounts of money, clothing, food, affidavits, etc., raised by Ukrainian Canadians for their countrymen is not known, and it is time to research this subject. Indeed, it is time to record the experience of the post- World War II Ukrainian immigration generally, for the history of the Ukrainian Canadians without this chapter would be incomplete.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

The Refugee experience : Ukrainian displaced persons after World War II
This volume, a collective study of the post-World War II Ukrainian emigrants in Germany and Austria, departs from the standard approach to immigration studies. Instead of focusing on the immigrants’ adjustment to their host societies (the United States, Canada, Australia, the countries of Latin America, and others), the approach in this volume assumes the primary importance of the pre-immigration experience. The twenty-five contributions to this book present a detailed analysis of the social conditions that shaped the Ukrainian displaced persons, with particular attention to the five-year period that many of them spent in internationally organized resettlement camps.
The essays in this volume are grouped in nine sections covering the most important facets of the displaced persons’ lives. These include an assessment of the DP phenomenon in the context of Ukrainian history; its demographic dimensions; an examination of the economic and organizational structure of the DP camps; the role of political parties and nationalist ideology; the activities of the Catholic and Orthodox churches; the establishment of schools and women’s organizations; the proliferation of literary, cultural, and scholarly activity; Soviet efforts at repatriation and the Allied response; the resettlement of Ukrainians in the USA and Canada; and a sociological and psychological interpretation of the DP experience. Four contributions by eyewitnesses round out the volume.
