❤️🩹 *Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day.*
The name for this tragic event is a combination of the Ukrainian words for famine (holod) and extermination (mor). See how the stories of the surviving victims interviewed by Ukraїner reflect a Soviet-created genocide.

I remember a documentary about a survivor who came to Argentina. He said that one day the soldiers came to his house and when they saw his grandmother almost dead in her bed they told him “we should take her to the grave now so we don’t have to come later.” The survivor said that was the last time he saw his grandmother.
My family was very fortunate to live in western Ukraine but during the Soviet rule (from 1939 to 1941) they lived the hard reality of the collectivisation. My grandmother told me that she needed to hide some of the production in order to have some left to them. She told me that during a visit to the market she saw that someone put a rope in a dead chicken’s neck with a a sign that said “I hanged because I can’t afford the quota”.
