UKRAINIAN EASTER IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP, 1945

Time to repost this
 
 
A DIFFERENT EASTER - in 1945
I remembered that ten years ago I had translated a portion of a chapter from Ukrainian Political Prisoners in Nazi Concentration Camps by Dr. Michael Marunchak. It was published in that year's Easter Saturday edition of the Globe and Mail (Toronto). Afterwards, Dr. Marunchak heard from a number of colleagues from around North America who also survived the camps.   It was reprinted in The Ukrainian Weekly here

I was happy that Dr. Marunchak was still around to see and read the translation.  He passed away two years later.   He encouraged me to translate the rest of his book, to tell the world about Ukrainian sacrifice in World War II.
