UKRAINIAN FAMINE IN THE GENOCIDE MUSEUM

The fall of the Soviet Union made possible the access to more documents and the famine can be studied in all its dimensions. The victims deserve a place in history and in our memory. Canada became the home for many famine survivors after the Second World War, and, although this generation is passing away, their children carry the memory of their parents' nightmare. Awareness of this tragedy must not be limited to the Ukrainian community; the famine victims deserve to be honoured, along with victims of other genocides, in a GENOCIDE MUSEUM.

The Ukrainian Famine of 1933 must not be left out of any future Canadian museum dedicated to the victims of genocide for yet another important reason. Food is still a favourite Weapon with many authoritarian regimes in the world today. Studies of the famine can bring us to understand and take the necessary position towards this persisting evil.
