Birgit SchmeitznerIt’s the fourth Saturday of November, the annual #Holodomor Memorial Day. I didn't hear about this artificial famine caused by Soviet leader #Stalin in school. I knew nothing about the millions of dead in Ukraine back in 1932–33. Only when I moved to Russia, lived there for a few years and traveled around #Ukraine, did I learn about it. And I realised: many people do not know about this crime. Good that there will be a debate on a resolution at the German Bundestag on Weds. #genocide
Motria Poshyvanyk Caudill@BSchmeitzner famine survivors all the way in the US were afraid to talk about it, for fear of getting their relatives in the USSR in trouble. My grandparents said very little until after 1991 and they knew their family was safe.
@motinka All the more important to talk about it now.
