Slovenian Exodus Hamilton Luncheon

The CSHS hosted the Slovenian Exodus Luncheon on Sunday October 16, 2022 at St. Gregory the Great Church Hall in Hamilton. Mario Ulcar welcomed everyone and introduced the Ambassador Andrej Gregor Rode. Rachel Murgelj was also introduced as she is the current Miss Ontario and will be competing in the Miss Canada Pageant in three weeks. She is a 3rd generation Slovenian.

After lunch the documentary "Slovenian Exodus 1945" was shown. The Exodus documentary includes many interviews with the people who experienced the exodus from Slovenia to Austria after WWII. All the participants in the documentary were refugees and they agreed to tell their stories in English so our target audience, the younger generations, will understand why our parents were forced to leave Slovenia.
