It's good that the truth of the Holodomor is finally emerging. We hear so much about the Jewish Holocaust and the "six million", but we hear so little about Soviet genocide, which was much worse. And post-Soviet Russian governments refuse to come to terms with it. Ten million in one year dwarfs an alleged "six million" in six years.
All genocide should be considered equally deplorable. By the way, Vasko, we're glad you consider America your new home and we welcome you.

My grandmother (God rest her soul) used to tell me stories about the Holodomor. She would always weep when she told of the horrors they lived through. She never forgot, and was so very grateful to end up here in the United States. These event should never be forgotten.

It's a good thing that the truth is coming out at last. It is sad that there is still so much opposition to the fact that the famine happened and that it was genocide.

And the aiders and abettors were the Western media and governments who then, and much of the media today, continue to spike the news of the tragedy and the now attempts to bring it to light.

My family too was affected by the Holodomor. I remember my grandfather telling me how at 17 he witnessed the jailing of both his parents for resisting the authorities in their drive to confiscate all the grain and later watched his two younger brothers slowly die of malnutrition.
Thank you Utah for your contribution. I am truly proud to call you my new home.
