				Alexander Sas-Jaworsky Collection
				Collection 125 Sas-Jaworsky, Alexander (1916-1989). Papers, 1939-1984 3 1/2 feet Dr. Alexander Sas-Jaworsky was born on June 11, 1916 in the Ukraine. He attended the Academy of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Lwiw (Lemburg). In June, 1939 he began his veterinary practice. During World War II he lived under first Soviet and then Nazi control. The Nazis impressed him into service and carried him westward as the army retreated. The end of the war found Sas in Austria. He met Natalie Kulchycky in a Bavarian displaced persons camp. They married in a civil ceremony on December 24, 1948 and a church ceremony on January 8, 1949. On September 19, 1949, Dr. Sas and his wife immigrated to the United States. By 1951 they had settled in Abbeville, where Dr. Sas established a veterinary practice, and they raised their five children. Dr. Sas is best known, however, for his outspoken political views. He is a staunch anti-communist and has made a career of spreading that viewpoint. He has enunciated his opinions in frequent speeches, numerous published opinion-editorial essays, a newspaper column, and in two books. Dr. Sas also gained fame as a very successful contestant on the $64,000 Question television game show in the late 1950s. This collection reflects Dr. Sas' political activism and his dedication to his chosen cause. It also indicates his continuing and underlying concern in Ukrainian nationalism. The collection is organized into series of correspondence, writings, personal material, photographs, miscellanea, and artifacts. The collection was donated by Dr. Sas-Jaworsky and his family.
