Christine Kusyk diary, 1944-1952, and undated
Scope and Contents
Diary of Christine Kusyk (Ukrainian: Христа Кузик), with entries and illustrations from 1944-1956. Some entries are school notes in history and literature. The volume is labelled "Христа Кузик Денник 1944" (English: Christa Kusyk [Diary] 1944); the Ukranian word for diary is "щоденник" so this may be a shortening. The collection also contains three loose, undated pages written in English in which Christine describes her feelings about the United States, after having lived here for more than 2 years. (She seems to have arrived in Philadelphia in January 1950.) Early entries are written in Ukranian cursive, German, and French. In later entries, English passages can be found and the author talks about having a difficult time because she wants to be accepted by both American and Ukrainian students.
