Women's association recalls Chornobyl

MAPLEWOOD, N.J. - Members of the Ukrainian American Youth Association and Women's Association for the Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine erected a symbolic Christmas tree of hope for the innocent Ukrainian children who are the victims of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster. The display is at the Maplewood Public Library on Baker Street.

The Christmas tree is decorated with faceless angels and white lights as a symbol of hope for the thousands of unknown Ukrainian children who are victims of radiation from the nuclear disaster.

Americans of Ukrainian descent in the state of New Jersey and the United States thus have joined the entire world in the expression of sympathy to the families of Chornobyl's victims and share the deep sorrow of the Ukrainian population, as well as their concern about the potential consequences of unpredictable magnitude which will affect future generations.
