On August 8, 2019, Mrs. Dora Vynnytska, with her family from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) and sisters from Lviv, visited our museum. Ms. Dora was not born in Ukraine, but she is fluent in the language and is ready to multiply the national moral and spiritual values of her native Ukraine, continuing the ascetic work of her late grandmother, a member of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America and professor of mathematics Nadiia Shulhina-Ishchuk, and a her late mother, instructor of Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences Mariia Ishchuk-Varvarova.
Ms. Dora is in charge of the transfer of Victor Cymbal's picture "Year 1933", which is one of the first and most famous paintings in the world dedicated to the Holodomor. It is currently being stored at UFAS (USA). Dora Vynnytska is convinced that this painting, which spoke of the genocide of Ukrainians in Buenos Aires in 1936, should be included in the Holodomor Museum's collection. It must be seen in Ukraine. This painting-requiem will serve the high purpose of warning society about the crime of genocide and reminding everyone alive of the millions of famine-stricken Ukrainians who survived the inhumane suffering of the terrible Holodomor-genocide years.
