Memories of a Famine

Famine. Starvation. Holodomor.

In 1932-33, the people in Ukraine lived through a man-made famine that killed so many millions of people. And, as intended, it also killed the will of the people... They no longer resisted working on Stalin's commune farms the following year.

About a week from now is the world-wide Holodomor memorial day: November 22nd. This year marks the 75th Anniversary of this time of starvation.

We're looking for oral histories about the famine... Did you or someone in your family live through this experience? If so, tell us your story.

Or leave a comment...
