"Slovak American Touches"
We're extremely proud and happy
to introduce the book, "Slovak American Touches"
by Toni Brendel,
published by Penfield Books.
In addition to family feature
stories, information on Slovak American dance groups, artists,
national folk dress (kroje), fraternal benefit organizations,
learning institutions, social clubs, museums, libraries,
and recipes handed down through the years by the Brosko-Mraz
family, what makes this book unique is the large section on
The Centre for Folk Art Productions (Ustedie l'udovej
Umeleckej Vyroby) in Bratislava, Slovakia. Amidst the
struggle to keep their heritage alive, a plan was devised in
1945 to preserve traditional crafts and folk art at the centre. Today, the expanded centre
flourishes as a thriving resource for young artists and
craftsmen who are carefully taught by the old masters. Their
story is brought to you in appealing pages of photography as
well as the written word and meshes the Slovak culture from both sides of the
ocean for the enjoyment of all.
Pictured on the covers of the
book are granddaughters of the author, dressed in authentic
kroj from the Spis Region of Slovakia, the land of their great
great grandparents' birth!
