Built in 1944, the monument initially represented the memory of the victims of the Lidice Massacre in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia while simultaneously symbolizing the patriotic efforts of the Phillips community during World War II. After the memorial’s rededication in 1984 the meaning of the monument to the community shifted. While still commemorating Lidice, the annual commemorations gave rise to the Phillips Czechoslovakian Community Festival held each year. The memorial became a site of cultural identity for the Phillips community and is

  • A Slovak Perspective on the Lattimer Massacre
    31 A Slovak Perspective on the Lattimer Massacre M. Mark Stolarik University of Ottawa As Michael Novak noted in the "Introduction" to his Guns of Lattimer: The True Story of a Massacre and a Trial, August 189 7- March, 1898, one of the greatest labor slaughters in American history "has been strangely neglected in history books."' Perhaps that is why the American film and television industry has also ignored it.2 And yet, as George Turner pointed out over a decade ago, there are plenty of sources on this tragic episode in Ameri- can labor history, including those produced by immigrants.3 I will look at the reaction of one immigrant group that was victimized at Lattimer-the Slovaks- in order to add to our knowledge of the reaction of various ethnic groups to this tragedy. The Slovaks were recent immigrants to the United States. They had been coming from their ancient homeland in the Kingdom of Hungary only since the 1870's in search of work in America's industrial heartland. The largest number found employment as unskilled laborers in the anthracite and bituminous coal fields of eastern and western Pennsylvania, in the steel mills of the Pitts- 1. Michael Novak, The Guns of Lattimer: The True Story of a Massacre and a Trial, August 1897-March, 1898 (New York: Basic Books, 1978), x. Since then the situation has not improved very much. When I checked the recent CD ROM on "American History and Life" under the heading "Lattimer Massacre," in our university library, I found only eight titles related to this subject: Michael Novak's book, a review of the book, three articles on the massacre commissioned by Novak and published in the annual Slovakia, 1977, an article by Harold Aurand on "Early Mine Workers' Organizations in the Anthracite Region," Penn- sylvania History, 58 (No.4, 1991), and an article in PennsylvaniaFolklore.

J " i ..;. Your S.okol tradition, so closely linked with the Slovaks r historic efforts for independence and for national self-realization in modern times, is a reminder to 1J.S·all· of the vital role of the Slovak people in·the con­ tinuing worldwide: struggle for freedom. "".i-.:' And the entire Catholic world is celebrating this year as the eleven­ hundredth anniversary of the Christianization of the Slovaks by Saints Cyril and Methodius. The work of your Sokol organ1zation in laying the foundation for the new Institute at the Vatican, named in their honor, has been highly commendable. I can't help feeling that those two traditional traits of your parent country--a continuing struggle for political freedom and a deeply ingrained religious faith--give us a great deal in cammon. Both of my great grandfathers, like yours, were born in another country whose national pride is built of those same two characteristics. And they came here, like your grandfathers, your fathers and some of yourselves, as poor men with very little more than those two strong tradi­ tions to sustain them. They came not only in flight fram oppression, but with something of the valor of explorers and pioneers--as men willing to pit their enterprise against the mystery and complexity of a New World; men deter.m1nedl against great odds, to survive and prosper and plant the roots of their future 'generations in foreign s011.

  • Silent Voices: Identifying the Historical Significance of Slovak Immigrant Women Lisa A
    Selected Papers from the 2003 SVU North American Conference, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 26-28 June 2003 Silent Voices: Identifying the Historical Significance of Slovak Immigrant Women Lisa A. Alzo, M.F.A., Ithaca, New York Introduction Nearly two million Americans claim Slovak ancestry. I am one of them. This vast number is not surprising, given that some 650,0001 Slovaks came to North America between 1875 and 1914. The Slovaks have been counted among the category of new immigrants called "Slavs," emigrating from Central and Eastern Europe and speaking a Slavic language. The terms "Slav" and "Slavic" are generic terms used to refer to the peoples of various different nationalities, which include, in addition to Slovaks, Poles, Croats, Czechs, Slovenians, and Ukrainians. The languages and cultures of these people have tended to be lumped together in America, but there are actually marked differences between. The Slavs were the third largest group to immigrate to the United States during this period from 1875 to 1914, ranking behind only Italian and Jewish immigrants. The Slovaks are the second largest of the Slavic-speaking groups in the United States, outnumbered only by the Poles. Some Slovaks emigrated for economic reasons, others to escape political repression. The majority of the immigrants to the United States arrived before World War I. Many returned home after earning enough money to buy land back in Slovakia, but eventually some 500,000 Slovaks settled permanently in the New World. Many of their stories are compelling and engaging, yet only a few have been told. Despite the influx of Slovak immigrants to this country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American literature of the time shows a definite lack of Slovak identity.

Milos Forman Ingenious Czech-American Jan Tomas Forman (his formal name) was born in Caslavi on Febuary 18th, 1932.Both of his parents (Jewish father and protestant mother) died in Auschwitz concentration camp when he was just a little boy. What was the reason? His father belonged to the Czech Resistance group and his mother was dealing with an illegal grocery trade. The rest of his childhood/adulthood spent Forman living with his distant relatives as well as at the dorms of Podebrady’s public school. There he also met young Vaclav Havel (1st president of the Czech Republic) and Masin brothers ( who later started an armed anti-Communist resistance). After finishing high school he tried to get into the the University of Acting (DAMU) in Prague but without success. His second choice was the University of Film (FAMU), also located in Prague, and this time was Forman accepted. He graduated in 1968. His first major movie became the black-humored comedy “Cerny Petr” (Black Peter; 1963), which was followed by another debut “Loves of a Blond” (Lasky jedne plavovlasky; 1965).

  • Slov Ak Immigration to the United States and Its Relation to the American Socialist and Labor Movements
    Migracijske teme, 4 (1988), 1-2: 145-155 Conference P~er UDK 325.525(=854) :329.14] (73) (001) M. Mark Stolarik The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies Philadelphia Primljeno: '21. 11. 1987. SLOV AK IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND ITS RELATION TO THE AMERICAN SOCIALIST AND LABOR MOVEMENTS SUMMARY Slovak immigrants in the United States of America did not show a considerable interest in taking part in the American labor movement. One of the reasons for this lies in the fact that ,qoung single men would come to the united States in order to get rich, and then to get back home as soon as possible and purchase land there. On the other hand, ,Slovak immigrant leaders did not have a desire to gather American Slovaks together in the American labor movement. Slovak clergymen in the United States took it upon themselves to maintain their body of believers in the Catholic faith. The outcome of it all was a small number of r.Aimerican Slovaks founding workers' organizations and papers, and they were very distant from one another, too. The number of Slovak immigrants in the ranks of the socialist party of Ame­ rica is negligible.
