The captions under each plate are provided in two languages, and at the end is a glossary of camp jargon: “Muslim” — an exhausted prisoner, “organize” — to obtain something outside the official channels, “tsuk” — a cigarette butt. In the preface, the author explains his choice of form: the truth about the camp was so incredible that he deliberately approached it from a humorous rather than a tragic perspective, for it is humor that provides a complete picture of tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the pseudonym Paladij Osynka is Petro Baley (1912–2003) — a lawyer, publicist, and member of the OUN, originally from Oshtiv in the Kholmshchyna region.

After the war he worked in Munich at the publishing house of the weekly “Ukrainska Trybuna”, was the commandant of the displaced persons camp in Regensburg, and from 1949 lived in California.

This is one of the earliest postwar attempts to tell Western readers about Ukrainian prisoners in Nazi camps — hence the parallel English text translated by the military historian Lev Shancovsky. The stated continuation — further parts of the “Album” — never appeared. Copies are preserved in individual diaspora collections, including the S.

A white and a black goat meet in the middle of a narrow path over the river, clash heads and horns—and both fall into the water. Two little kids, meeting on a path between a cliff and a steep mountain, make way for each other: one lies down and presses against the mountain, while the other carefully steps over her. Each episode is a separate page with a large illustration spanning the full width and one or two lines of text beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drawings are by Okhryma Sudomyr (1889–1968)—a graphic artist from Boryspil and a student of the Lavra icon-painting workshop, who was called “the Ukrainian Birdseye” for his refined line; his most famous books are “The War of Mushrooms Against Beetles” (1919) and “The Little House” (1920). In 1943, he moved to Lviv and illustrated children’s books published by the Ukrainian Publishing House and the magazine Mali Druzi, and by 1945–1948 he was working in Kharkiv; in 1949, he was arrested and sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment, then released by amnesty in 1955.

Hlibov. The publication details are duplicated here: on the reverse of the front cover, “Munich Nuremberg, 1946” is printed by typewriter, while the back cover reads “Munich-Karlsfeld”.

In the introduction, the author cautions that the maps are presented in the simplest form — to highlight the main points rather than show the details of the borders. The map captions are bilingual, with English names explained in Ukrainian; the afterword was written in the summer of 1941, during the German offensive to the east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Wilfred Simpson (1893–1969) was a Canadian historian, professor at the University of Saskatchewan, the first Canadian historian to study the Ukrainian language, and founder of Canada's first department of Slavic Studies (Saskatoon, 1945). Full member of the Ukrainian National Association from 1948 and the Ukrainian Canadian Association; honorary doctor of the Ukrainian Free University in Munich (1947). He was an editor and author of the introduction to Dmytro Doroshenko's English-language \"History of Ukraine\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe English original was published by Oxford University Press in 1941 and reprinted in 1942; the Ukrainian translation appeared four years later in Augsburg — in the British-American zone of occupation, where the largest Ukrainian camp community was concentrated. The UNRRA permission line on the reverse of the frontispiece and the German printing house on the reverse of the title page are typical features of book products from the DP era, when every Ukrainian publication was issued with the approval of the respective occupational administration. For the camp reader, the atlas was not a scientific novelty, but a compact proof of historical continuity that could be shown to a stranger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589863289203,"sku":"SKU-00675","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528970256755.jpg?v=1793986565"},{"product_id":"plastun-scout-ch-5-avgsburg-1946","title":"Plastun — Scout: a journal of Ukrainian Plast members.
