... so that this tragedy will not be forgotten

The horror of millions of people dying of starvation and malnutrition while available food was being exported from Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 will never be forgotten. I am very pleased that The Ukrainian Weekly is devoting a special issue to remembrance of the Great Famine of 50 years ago, so that this tragedy will not be forgotten.

- Sen. Charles H. Percy, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, in a letter to John O. Flis, supreme president of the Ukrainian National Association.

This year, Ukrainians throughout the world are observing the 50th anniversary of the Great Famine of 1932-33, Stalin's planned destruction of the Ukrainian nation in which 7 million men, women and children perished. This special issue of The Ukrainian Weekly is dedicated to the solemn anniversary of this Soviet-perpetrated genocide and to the eternal memory of its victims.

We are sending copies of this special issue - which includes a 12-page pull-out section on pages 3-14 - to all U.S. senators and representatives in order to inform them about this holocaust of the Ukrainian nation, and to all Svoboda subscribers in the hope that they will share this special issue with their non-Ukrainian friends and thus make them aware of the Great Famine.
