Description: A form letter about the resettlement in England of foreign workers of Ukrainian origin.
Notes: At the end of the World War II there were over two million Ukrainian displaced persons and refugees in Western Europe. After a mass repatriation effort there remained @220,000-250,000 Ukrainians in Western Europe who did not wish to return to the Soviet Union or to other East European countries in which pro-Soviet regimes were being established. Ukrainian organizations in various countries (including the London-based Ukrainian Bureau) became involved in the resettlement effort for displaced persons and refugees in countries willing to accept them.

After the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, Gordon Panchuk, became one of the main organizers of efforts to bring relief to Ukrainian displaced persons and refugees in Europe and to prevent their forced repatriation to the Soviet Union.
