The title page of this 1948 almanac highlights its jubilee year, drawing connections to pivotal years in Ukrainian history 1648, 1848, and 1918. Published in a refugee camp for the Ukrainian displaced persons in Munich, and edited by Teodor Kurpita, the 1948 almanac sought to emphasize these jubilee year connections. By evoking past struggles for Ukrainian independence under various European powers, the Ukrainian émigrés, could find inspiration and hope for the eventual emergence of a fully independent Ukrainian state. This almanac is particularly fascinating for its inclusion of advertisements, offering unique insights into the Ukrainian community at the time, from bookshops in Displaced Persons Camps and services by refugee artists to co-operatives related to the Ukrainian scouting organization known as Plast and restaurants in Regensburg.
