Formal UGG-NCR meetings for this season follows our traditional approach of being convened on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with the exception of December where there we will not be any meeting. Meetings will also be suspended for the summer months of June, July and August. Start time is 7:30 PM (Eastern) unless otherwise noted.
Since the start of January 2020, the UGG-NCR’s formal monthly meetings have been delivered as on-line “Webinars” rather than in-person presentations / discussions.

The DP Experience: One Family’s Story by Zonia Keywan
In this presentation, Zonia Keywan recounted her family’s experience as refugees from Western Ukraine during and after World War II. Her discussion was based on two autobiographical novels authored by her mother, Maria Adriana Keywan. The account touched on the causes of displacement of Ukrainians at that time, living conditions in post-war displaced persons (DP) camps and finally, relocation to a new country of residence. The talk was illustrated by family documents and other visual material
A video recording of Zonia’s Webinar presentation can be found here. We also have a recording of the Introductory and Q&A segments from that evening. Zonia has also provided a list of references from her presentation.
