The book is a first-hand account by Danylo Tchaikovsky, where the author narrates his experiences and those of his contemporaries through the protagonist, Hnat Tyrsky. The book delves into the profound patriotism that resonated within thousands of Tchaikovsky's fellow countrymen, capturing their despair for their homeland, along with their relentless yearning for victory and freedom. The illustrations within the book vividly depict the life of prisoners and the labor they were forced to undertake in the camp. This publication holds the distinction of being the first survivor's account of Auschwitz published in Ukrainian and is among the earliest accounts detailing the atrocities of Nazi concentration camps. Danylo Tchaikovsky, born into the family of priest Vasyl Tchaikovsky, was actively involved in youth nationalist movements, including Plast and the Union of Ukrainian Nationalist Youth. From 1929, he became a member of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and was imprisoned in Polish jails. On August 8, 1942, Tchaikovsky was detained in the German concentration camp Auschwitz. Tchaikovsky also wrote "Our Days," a collection of short stories, and several children's stories. In 1958, he published "Kruty," a book about the heroic sacrifice of young Ukrainians in the battle against the Bolshevik invasion, which portrayed the valor of the Ukrainian people. Additionally, in 1965, he edited "Bandera's Moscow Murderers on Trial," a significant work in his literary career. Kozak, Edward (illustrator) (illustratore).…

New York: Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, [1959]. Single sheet folded to form 4 pp. Illustrated with two large two-color (red and black) political caricatures signed "E.K." [Edward Kozak]. Lightly age-toned with original horizontal mailing and distribution fold lines as issued; minor soft creasing along edges and outer corners. A powerful Cold War protest pamphlet issued by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) to mobilize American public opinion against Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during his historic September 1959 state visit to the United States. Featuring two striking red-and-black political caricatures by celebrated Ukrainian émigré artist Edward Kozak ("E.K.", 1902-1992)-including a cover illustration depicting a blood-spattered Khrushchev clutching a bloody axe and whip while standing atop a pile of human skulls. The text details eight specific charges ("The True Nature of the 'Hangman of Ukraine'"), including his role in the 1932-1933 Holodomor famine, the Great Purge executions in Vinnytsia and total liquidation of the Ukrainian Communist Party leadership in 1937-1938, the violent suppression of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the forced destruction of the Ukrainian Catholic and Autocephalous Orthodox Churches, and the crushing of the 1954 Kengir Gulag uprising under tank treads. Rejecting Vice President Richard Nixon's call for polite diplomacy, the leaflet urges Americans to wear black mourning armbands, toll church bells, petition elected officials, and turn their backs when Khrushchev passed, framing the visit as an affront to victims of Soviet totalitarianism.…
