The paper discusses occurrences of Lviv themes in Polish opinion-forming newspapers in exile in the United States after World War II. The author followed various publications of the „New Diary” in the years 1971–1999 and its appendices: „Polish Week” (1971–1981) and „Polish Review” (1981–1999) issued in New York. Analysis of the newspapers’ contents revealed that a small and dispersed Lviv community, centred on the Lviv Circle, which emigrated to the United States, had regularly published their works in the pages of the „New Diary”. However, compared with the incidence of the same themes in the Polish émigré press in Western Europe, it was a marginal phenomenon. The main topic areas were the unmasking of Soviet authorities’ actions aimed at eliminating traces of Polish culture in Lviv, the devastation of the Lviv Eaglets Cemetery, pictures of the Poltava, poems devoted to the city and anniversary reminiscences of the Lviv defence in 1918. Lviv topics abroad were mostly the domain of those former citizens who had been forced to leave the city, without the possibility of return (owing to the provisions of the Yalta agreement) – journalists, academics, activists in exile regularly associated with the magazines from the British Isles: the „White Eagle”, „News”, „Polish Diary and Soldier’s Diary”, as well as „Culture” from Paris.
