The Ninth Circle In Commemoration of the Victims of the Famine of 1933

Readers in the English-speaking world will find much of what Olexa Woropay says hard to believe. The world he describes with such eloquent simplicity is completely alien to anything they have ever experienced: it is cut from the same cloth as Hitler's death camps, a world gone mad on the blood of human beings sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. To understand the Holodomor fully, one must remember that this whole-sale murder of peasant farmers took place in one of the richest countries of world, with its fertile 'black soil'. People died of starvation in a country which abounded in harvests, sufficient not only to feed her own population, but also to rank her among the leaders in the world export market of good hard wheat.
