The Lemkos: Articles and Essays

This book deals with the Lemkos, the East Slavic population which formerly inhabited the Southeast corner of today's Poland. The Lemkos massively immigrated to North America before 1914. Those who remained and survived the huge battles on the Carpathian Front in World War One settled in to rebuild their lives between the wars, but World War II and its aftermath were great blows to the Lemko people. Nearly all were either deported to the Soviet Ukraine (1944-1946) or forcibly resettled in Northern and Western Poland (1947-1951) in a thorough ethnic cleansing of the Carpathian Mountain region. Today, both in North America and in Europe, Lemkos are attempting to recover their heritage. It is hoped that this book will in some small way assist in that endeavor.
