In this English series, we'll explore the historical landmarks of Czechs and Slovaks traveling to the USA, often aboard massive ships and later aboard planes.

  • North American Czech-Slovak Heritage: Isaac Ferdinand Sarosi (year 1695)
    Jun 24 2024

    Napiš Nám

    Welcome to North American Czech-Slovak Heritage, the podcast dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage and vibrant stories of the Czech and Slovak communities across North America.

    In today's episode, we uncover the intriguing narrative of Isaac Ferdinand Sarosi, a pivotal figure whose story connects Slovakia with early American colonization. Hailing from what is now Slovakia, Sarosi embarked on a journey to the Pennsylvania religious colony of Germantown in 1695. His role as a teacher and preacher in this Mennonite settlement sheds light on the religious and educational dynamics of the early colonial period. Sarosi's eventual departure from Germantown after two years, faced with the challenges of pioneer life, reflects the complexities and hardships experienced by early immigrants navigating the New World.
