Goldelman, Solomon I. Jewish National Autonomy in Ukraine, 1917-1920. Translated fro m Ukrainian by Michael Luchko- vich. Chicago, U krainian Re search and Info rm ation In s ti tute, 1968. Pp. 131. Ukrainian-Jewish relations have been overshadowed by tr a gic misunderstandings. Few peo ple today know of the b rie f era during the U krainian National Revolution when Ukrainians and Jews cooperated and planned fo r a common fu tu re in a free U krainian state. The U krainian National Republic had a special M in is try fo r Jewish A ffa irs and the Jewish m in o rity was granted a national autonomy, the extent of which ,according to Solomon Goldelman “ stands alone in the entire history of the Jewish peo ple in diaspora.” Solomon I. Goldelman of Jeru salem, a Zionist scholar and the founder of the In s titu te fo r Zion is t Education and the Jewish Folk University, was also at one tim e an active political Jewish leader in Ukraine, a member of the U krainian government, and later, in exile, a professor at the U krainian Academy o f Econo mics in Czechoslovakia. He w rites about the Jewish auto nomy in Ukraine — th a t “ rare experiment in ethnic democracy” — fro m his own special vantage point, on the basis of f ir s t hand knowledge; he makes a serious attem pt at scholarly detachment and has many interesting analy tica l insights. OUR DELEG ATES A T TH E GFWC CONVENTION On June 5-10, 1971, the 80th Annual Convention of the Gen eral Federation of Women’s Clubs was held at the Pittsburgh H ilto n Hotel. “ Action fo r a B et te r Environm ent” was the Con vention theme. Therefore all as pects of the physical, the scien t if ic and the spiritu a l approach to this problem of American life were presented and discussed by outstanding speakers fro m all spheres of American life. The U krainian National Wom en’s League (Soyuz Ukrainok A m eryky) entered the arena of world women’s organizations long ago. Among these was also GFWC, which we joined in 1948, and whose Conventions we have attended year a fte r year. We fo l lowed the grow th of th is largest women’s organization in the world — (eleven and one-half m illion members) — and made friends among its members. Si multaneously we got them ac quainted w ith our problems and the struggle fo r freedom led by our enslaved nation. U krainian delegates a t the GFWC Convention were on an equal plane w ith other Conven tion delegates and were present ed by the GFWC President, Mrs. Earle A. Brown at the m orning session of June 10. Mrs. Anasta sia Volker of D e tro it represent ed Soyuz Ukrainok A m eryky and Mrs. M aria K w itkow sky repre sented the U krainian Gold Cross. An International Banquet was held on the same day, and dele gates of 54 d iffe re n t countries of the world were presented a t th is a ffa ir. Mrs. Natalia Pazuniak Secretary of the W orld Federa tion of U krainian Women’s O r ganizations, was presented to gether w ith Mrs. A. Volker and Mrs. M. Kw itkow sky. The U krainian delegates had many opportunities to get ac quainted w ith outstanding American leaders. Leaflets about U N W L A and our Folk A r t Museum were distributed.

PY SA N KY SLIDES In 1968 a Kiev publishing house p u t out an album of p y sanky fro m various regions of Ukraine.

The complete set includes 25 slides of 50 Easter eggs. The slides w ill be made available to U N W L A Regional Councils fo r showings in the various Branch es.
