Calls now come every other day, it seems, from around the state to a tiny museum in Hamtramck that has held the stories of Ukrainians in Detroit since they began arriving to work at the Dodge plant in 1912.
“Americans are saying, ‘What do I do to apologize for my nation? Where do I apologize on behalf of America?’ ” said executive director Olga Liskiwsky.
The Ukrainian American Archives & Museum has been a presence in the community since 1958. Artists fill the gift shop with their artwork, jewelry, handmade dolls, painted eggs and beaded clothing now sold to help pay for injured soldiers.
