This was a terrible, evil crime and I agree with you that not many people in this country know about it.

Stalin was truly the most evil, despicable creature.

Hi Ukrainian mum.
I know about this. My dh used to work in the former USSR and I have visited Kiev. Yes, your people have suffered so much.

I had to research this period when I was writing my last book and I was just stunned at how a deliberate famine could be engineered. Truly dreadful.

I know absolutely nothing about this so will read your link later.

My aunt's husband was of Jewish Ukranian descent so it will be of particular interest.
