Ukrainian Americans and their supporters came out on Saturday, November 18, to show they will always remember the 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine by participating in a solemn march from St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church in New York’s East Village to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in midtown Manhattan. Many organizations were represented, marching behind their banners and flags. Inside the landmark cathedral, a requiem service was offered in memory of the millions killed in the Famine-Genocide, with the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka singing the requiem responses and religious hymns. Several speakers addressed the prayerful assembly.
