Mission Statement

The purpose of this website is to bring awareness and recognition of the ignored Holoucast, the Ukrainian man-made famine of 1932-33. This tragedy also known as ‘Holodomor’ which translates from Ukrainian as "death by hunger" is one of the history’s worst genocides as well as one of the least known ones.

Perpetrated by Stalin and his hangmen the Ukrainian famine/genocide took the lives of up to 10,000,000 innocent men, women and children in less than 18 months. Regardless of the enormity of the atrocity it remains widely unknown due to the fact that the Soviet Regime did everything in its power to erase it from history. The world has witnessed a number of genocides throughout its history beginning with the Crusades to present with Rwanda and Darfour. In general people are familiar with most of them, however, the Ukrainian Holodomor is still denied, ignored and defiled by many. It is time for this tragedy to be acknowledged by the world.

The Connecticut Holodomor committee was formed specifically for that purpose. The committee represents various Ukrainian organizations throughout the state of Connecticut with a goal of bringing awareness and recognition of the Ukrainian famine/genocide to the community at large in the hope of stopping and preventing future genocides.
