UNF
National Commemoration of the Holodomor
Starting
on November 1,
2011,
the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada together with all of its
branches
across Canada
will be marking the 78thAnniversary of the Holodomor - Death
by
Starvation, the Famine Genocide inflicted on the Ukrainian people by
the
Stalinist regime of the Soviet Union
in 1932-33.
Raising
black flags over their community
centres for the month of November will be Montreal,
Toronto,
Toronto West, Hamilton,
Sudbury,
Windsor,
Winnipeg,
Regina
and Edmonton.
This simple
act will commemorate the loss
of millions of innocent lives through an artificial famine that ravaged
Ukraine
and surrounding territories with Ukrainian ethnic populations. Its
intensity
and geographic focus can no longer be disputed and Ukrainian Canadians
commend
the Parliament of Canada’s recognition of the Holodomor as
genocide, a
monumental and ultimate violation of human rights.
May the
memory of those almost forgotten
by history be eternal.
“Vichna Im pamyat!”
