The story of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus is one of incredible courage and true grit – a vivid chronicle that celebrates the human spirit. This is the triumphant story of the original seventeen members of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus who were forcibly transported to OST (Ostarbeiter) slave-labour camps in Germany in 1942 and survived World War II as a group. Their gift of music eventually carried them across the ocean to freedom to America in 1949. The Chorus thrives to this day upon the foundation these artists forged for future generations.
