Three Publications of the Lemko Association

Cleveland/Yonkers: Tipografiia Lemko-Soiuza, 1934. Softcover. Lemkos - small ethnic sub-group from the Carpathian Mountains identifying themselves as either Carpatho-Rusyns or Ukrainians - immigrated in large groups to the United States in the years between the two World Wars with many of them settling in Ohio. In Cleveland, in 1929, Lemko-Soiuz (the Lemko Association) was established by immigrants dissatisfied with the other existing Ukrainian and Rusyn organizations. Other Pro-Ukrainian Lemkos founded their own Organization for the Defense of the Lemko Region in 1934. Besides preserving their cultural identity, publishing books, and helping compatriots in need, the organizations also sent moral and financial support to their homeland.
