THIS EVENING:
The Columbia Ukrainian Studies Program's last event of the academic year
will be a panel discussion, co-sponsored by the Polish Studies Program,
titled:
"POST-WWII POLISH-UKRAINIAN RELATIONS: REMEMBERING THE 1947 FORCED
RELOCATION CAMPAIGN 'AKCJA WISLA'"
WHEN: Thursday, April 26 at 6:00pm
WHERE: Room 1219, International Affairs Building (12th floor), Columbia
University, New York, NY
Almost exactly sixty years ago -- on April 28, 1947 -- the communist
government in Poland began a forced relocation campaign, with the
confidential codename "Akcja 'Wisla'" (Operation "Vistula"), which
resulted in the removal of approximately 140,000 members of the
country's Ukrainian minority from their homes and territory. The
participants of this panel will discuss the reasons for and consequences
of the forced relocation campaign, as well as how the 1947 event is
remembered today.
The panelists will include:
Dr. Tarik Amar (PhD, Princeton University), Shklar Fellow at the Harvard
Ukrainian Research Institute:
"Akcja Wisla: Event, Origins, Context."
Dr. Philipp Ther (PhD, Free University in Berlin; Visiting Scholar at
Columbia University's Harriman Institute):
"Trappings of Memory: The Historigraphy of the Polish-Ukrainian Conflict"
Sofiya Dyak (PhD candidate at Polish Academy of Science's Institute of
Philosophy and Sociology, and at Lviv University's History Department):
"Commemorating Deportations in the Cityscapes of Lviv and Wroclaw"
Introduction by Diana Howansky, Fulbright Scholar to Poland from 1998-2000.
