SELECTED COMMENTS FROM INTERVIEWS

"The 1933 Famine-Genocide in Soviet Ukraine was deliberately created by Stalin, his emissary Lazar Kaganovich and the Communist Party to break the backbone of the Ukrainian nation - its farmers. Over 7 million perished. We must not remain silent. Our young people and future generations should be taught about this unprecedented covered-up genocide. I pray to God that it will not happen again anywhere in the world."

"Imagine the Titanic sinking every day for thirteen years! Such were the losses from the 1933 Famine-Genocide in Soviet Ukraine." [based on the minimum seven million]

"...Professor Noam Chomsky, if I can give you one example of an issue that I think as being covered up, ignored in a very aggressive way by media in the western countries. We have a large Ukrainian community in Canada, very large in some places up to ten percent of a province. The news of the attempted genocide of the Ukrainian people, the forced starvation and so on was almost eliminated from media coverage when it was happening and since then... Even today people could be accused of things if they mentioned it... If you mentioned the attempted genocide of the Ukrainian people somehow you are diminishing the uniqueness of the holocaust of the Jewish people. The New York Times has done this several times. Where I came from, England, The Guardian newspaper indulged in this for a long period of time and even now there are several newspapers in Britain and even in this country where it’s almost a no-go area when it comes to discussing some of these crimes..."
