Remembering the Holodomor; Commemorating the Famine-Genocide in Ukraine

Remembering the Holodomor; Commemorating the Famine-Genocide in Ukraine  

DATE: Sunday, November 22, 2020 

TIME:  3pm CST. 

In 1932-33, millions of Ukrainians starved to death in a man-made famine deliberately engineered by Stalinist regime leaders. Known as the Holodomor, the Ukrainian term for “killing by starvation,” the famine is one of the least known yet most horrendous genocides of the 20th century. 

We invite you to join us, in partnership with Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation of America, for a solemn hour filled with testimony from children of Survivors. The commemoration will feature remarks from Andrea Chalupa, screenwriter for 2019 film Mr. Jones, which chronicles a British investigative journalist as he breaks the news to western media in the early 1930s. Our program will culminate with a call to action to raise awareness about the Holodomor and speak out against those who deny history.
