A Holodomor curriculum success story

MEDWAY, Mass. – After much effort, the study of the “Forced famine genocide of the Ukrainian people, known as the Holodomor” has been included in the Massachusetts framework. Activist Maria Walzer (center) is seen above meeting with Dr. Armand Pires, superintendent of Medway High School, who was very receptive of including the Holodomor in history courses, and Gabrielle Adams, assistant to the superintendent. The purpose of the meeting was to promote teaching about the Holodomor in the school system. Ms. Walzer underscored: “It is incumbent on all of us to contact school districts to make sure the Holodomor is taught.”
