Ukraine marks genocide anniversary

Thanks for the post Stelliform. I think you'll find that there are many, many more atrocities like this that we haven't heard of either.

Wow, I knew about this, but not the specifics....just that Stalin was right up there with Hitler in this regard and that he had killed millions while in power.

The reason most people don't know about this event is because there is not a good enough story here for hollywood to make a movie out of. No army, war, or anything else people want to see in a historical movie. Just the government taking their food away from them. Who is going to make a movie about people losing their food? So even though 7-9 million people died (which is about the same as how many jews died in WWII), probably 95% of the general public has no idea what happened, and never will. My great grand parents came from there about 15 years before this happened, and they were afraid the russian authorities would come to get them for years. Unfortunatly this fear made it hard to extract genealogical information from them, as any time someone asked any questions about their history, they were suspicious of you, and told you nothing.
