Biographical / Historical

The Ukrainian Central Committee in Poland (Український Центральний Комітет у Польщі) was an organization of Ukrainian political refugees from central Ukraine who were living in the Second Polish Republic after World War I and the Ukrainian War of Independence. It was founded in 1921 in Warsaw. It provided humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian refugees, and coordinated closely with the Ukrainian People's Republic in Exile. By 1929 it had 68 local branches with a membership of 15,000, and it remained active until the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939. It founded a Ukrainian Gymansium (secondary school) and a home for the disabled in Kalisz, and a boarding school for children of Ukrainian refugees in Przemysl.
