Oleksandr Shatokhin

“Holodomor, 1932-1933. We need to remember.”

Olha Protasova

“Holodomor was genocide against my people. When I cook dinner for my children, I think about my great-grandmother Tetyana. How did she cook dinner for my grandmother and three other children? They had also been expelled from their home a few years earlier. I think of all the mothers, men and women, children, and the elderly. Millions perished — exactly as Russia intended. Those who lived were compelled to keep silent.

Oksana Drachkovska

“We shall remember… That is a tragic chapter in Ukraine’s history.”

Nikita Titov

“Genocide against the Ukrainian people. Unpunished evil lives on for centuries.”

Andriy Yermolenko

Every fourth Saturday in November, Ukraine commemorates the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 and the mass artificial famines of 1921-1923 and 1946-1947. People light a candle and place it in their window at 4 p.m.
