Ivan Hrynokh

He was arrested by the Polish government in 1938 and remained incarcerated at the Bereza Kartuska detention camp until the fall of Poland.

With the annexation of Western Ukraine by the Soviets, Hrynokh traveled to Kraków where he preached and was active in Ukrainian politics.

He was sent to the West to find alliances for the UPA with the Allied forces and traveled via Prague to Germany settling in Munich.

He continued teaching theology and philosophy in seminaries in Hischberg and Kulenburg and was a professor at the Ukrainian Free University in Munich.

With the release by the Soviets of Metropolitan Joseph Slipyj in 1963, a Ukrainian Catholic University was established in Rome, where he became professor.
