Today, on the fourth Saturday of November, we honor the memory of millions of victims of the Holodomors in Ukraine — horrendous tragedies that have left a deep mark on our history and the memory of the people.
In the 20th century, our state experienced three terrible famines: 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947. According to the estimates of the International Association of Researchers of the Holodomor-Genocide, over 10.5 million Ukrainians died from hunger during the famine of 1932–1933 alone.
Light a candle of remembrance
At 4:00 PM, light a candle of remembrance as part of the national moment of mourning to pay tribute to every victim of the Holodomor and to preserve the memory of these terrible events for future generations.
The Holodomors in Ukraine leave an unjustifiable tragedy that should be remembered and honored to not forget the sacrifice of millions of Ukrainians and to protect modern society from similar terrible events in the future.
