Holodomor: A Tragedy Never Forgotten

The Holodomor stands as one of the most heinous crimes in human historyโ€”a deliberate act of genocide orchestrated by Stalinโ€™s totalitarian communist regime. By sheer magnitude, the losses suffered during the Holodomor surpassed those of the Ukrainian nation during the Second World War. This merciless act continues to leave deep scars on Ukrainians worldwide.

Through declassified documents and eyewitness accounts, the truth of this horrific crime has come to light. It is now undeniable:
a) The Holodomor occurred,
b) It was deliberate,
c) It was designed to destroy the Ukrainian nation.
