Slovak Settler

Slovak Settlers presents a comprehensive overview of emigration from Slovakia and 13 authentic stories that piece together the fascinating, powerful, and touching Odyssey of Slovaks who left their homeland in search of a new life in faraway North America. Their destinies reveal a timeless story of shared dreams and hope that should never be forgotten.

Although the history of Slovakia is a history of migration, we know so little about the Slovak men and women who dared to cross the ocean in search of a better life and even less about what happened to them after.

Their stories help to recover ties severed by decades and even a century of separation.
