A Modest Beginning
While the Slovak Institute was not officially founded until 1952, in the years immediately following the end of World War II, as this Cleveland Press article from April 7, 1950, reveals, the priests at St. Andrew Svorad Abbey were already reaching out to Slovak refugees from communist Czechoslovakia and providing them with support at the Slovak "museum" held on the Abbey grounds.
