“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, БЕРЕЗЕНЬ 201 3 WWW. UNWLA.ORG 31 Juliana Starosolska's Woman in Exile Presented in New York by Olesia Wallo On the evening of February 1, 2013, a large audience gathered at the Ukrainian Museum in New York for the UNWLA - organized present a- tion of the English translation of Juliana Starosolska's memoir, Woman in Exile : My Life in Kazakhstan . The event paid tribute to the late author — UNWLA Honorary Member and long - time editor of Our Life — who lived to see the En g- lish version of her book published in 2011, but not to attend its presentation. In March 2012, for which the presentation of Woman in Exile was originally planned, Ms. Starosolska would have celebrated her 100th birthday. It was wonderful to see how many me m- bers of the UNWLA and the Ukrainian commun i- ty in New York came out to honor the memory of Ms. Starosolska. The event enabled them to catch a glimpse of her remarkable life — reflected in the history of her family and her nation; in the pages of her writing, beautifully translated into English by Marie Ulanowicz ; and in the recollections of those who personally knew her. Words of wel come were extended by the mistress of ceremonies, Natalia Sonevytsky, and the UNWLA President Marianna Zajac. E ditor of Our Life , Lidia Slysh, spoke about Ms. Starosolska's distinguished family, her intellectual formation, her public activism, and especial ly her literary and journalistic pursuits, which culmina t- ed in almost two decades of work as editor of Our Life . Having been a close personal friend of Ms. Starosolska, Ms. Slysh also warmly spoke of the dignity, compassion, and sense of humor which Marie Ulanowicz presents her English translation of Juliana Starosolska’s memoir. ch aracterized Juliana Starosolska ’ s approach to life. Dr. Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, set the stage for a better understand ing of Woman in Exile by d e- scribing the historical background against which the memoir is set. Ms. Starosolska's father was arrested and she and her family exiled in 1940, shortly after the Soviet invasion of Western Ukraine, in one of several waves of mas s arrests and deportations of the best educated and most capable citizens from formerly Polish lands. Pr o- fessor Motyl explained why the Starosolsky fam i- ly, like so many others, was deported specifically to Kazakhstan: with 40 percent of the Kazakh Presentation of Juliana Starosolska's Woman in Exile at the Ukrainian Museum .
