Today marks the 80th anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars from the Crimean Peninsula. As we commemorate the genocide inflicted on them by the Soviet Union, we seek to highlight their rich history and culture.

New York is full of intriguing Ukrainian places, like the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences on 100th St where they hold archives of Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Lesia Ukrainka’s family members, and so much more How many stories, how many potential books, behind that unassuming facade?
