The United Ukrainian American Relief Committee, Philadelphia, 1944-1954: A Historical Study of the American Committee for the Relief of Ukrainian Displaced Persons

John O Kupybida, Fordham University

Abstract

This study is concerned with the function and activity of the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee in resettlement of the Ukrainian refugees from behind the Iron Curtain. As a result of the last World War, thousands of Ukrainians were forced by German occupational authorities to leave their homeland, others had to flee westward before advancing Soviet troops. This movement of people created grave sociological, economic and moral conditions in the already overpopulated Western Germany and Austria.
