SOUTH BOUND BROOK, N.J. - Nearly 13,000 persons, according to police estimates, gathered here at the Ukrainian Orthodox Center of St. Andrew the P`irst-Called Apostle on May 15, St. Thomas Sunday according to the Julian calendar, to pay their respects and mourn the 7 million men, women and children, who died 50 years ago in the Great Famine of 1932-33 - Stalin's planned genocide of the Ukrai­ nian nation. St. Thomas Sunday, known as "Pro- vidna Nedilia" (Seeing-Off Sunday) to Ukrainians, is traditionally set aside as a day to honor the dead. The memorial services at the Ukrai­ nian Orthodox Center, which this year were specially dedicated to the famine victims, began with a 9 a.m. arch- pastoral divine liturgy celebrated by Metropolitan Mstyslav of the Ukrai­ nian Orthodox Church with the as­ sistance of Archbishop Mark of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Bishop Iziaslav of the Byelorussian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The responses at the liturgy, as well as at the subsequent requiem service, were sung by the Memorial Church Choir directed by Taras Pavlovsky. Immediately following the liturgy, thousands congregated before the steps of St. Andrew's Memorial Church for the outdoor ecumenical requiem service that was conducted by clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant faiths. The concelebrants were Metropolitan Mstyslav, Metropo­ litan Stephen Sulyk of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, Archbishop Mark. Bishop Iziaslav and Pastor Wladimir Borowsky, executive secretary of the Ukrainian Evangelical Alliance of North America. Ukrainian veterans and uniformed members of the Plast and ODUM Ukrainian youth organizations, with the organizations' banners, formed an honor guard around the steps of the church.

SOUTH BOUND BROOK. N.J. - A solemn memorial program dedicated to the victims of the Great.Famine in Ukraine in 1932-33 followed the divine liturgy and ecumenical requiem service at St: Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Center on Sunday. May 15. The Very Rev. Protopresbyter Stephen Bilak, president of the Consistory of the Ukrainian Or­ thodox Church, welcomed the hierarchs, clergy and over 800 guests to the recently opened Home of Ukrainian Culture. He stressed the fact that Ukrainians must remind themselves and make others aware of the horrible genocide that took place in Ukraine 50 years ago. The Re\. Bilak, in his brief statement, also shared good news with the auu"ience as he presented Metropolitan Mstyslav with the home's building permit (certificate of occupancy). The building, which the Rev. Bilak called a gift for the millennium of Christianity in Ukraine, had experienced two years of difficulties in obtaining the permit from Franklin Township. Metropolitan Mstyslav, the primate of the Ukrai­ nian Orthodox Church, began the solemn program with a prayer. The hierarch, who witnessed the terror of the famine in Ukraine, stated that the spring days of 1933, exactly 50 years ago. were the most tragic in the The Dumka Choir of New York. history of the Ukrainian people.

Orthodox Church in the U.S.A. Dr. Lysyj, who was a child in Ukraine's Konolopsh- chyna region 50 years ago during the famine, began his address by quoting dissident Mykola Rudenko`spoem "The Cross." Dr. Lysyj posed the question: Why did this crime against humanity befall the Ukrainian nation? He explained that the Great Famine in Ukraine in 1932-33 was a seige upon an entire nation. He stated that it was purposely imposed by the Soviet occupants to deprive Ukrainians of their freedom, establish a new regime and break the people's will to retaliate. Dr. Lysyj continued by saying that the man-made famine was established only 15 years after Ukrainian independence movements of 1918-19, and that to break that spirit, the Communist regime retaliated with holocaust. Dr. Lysyj noted that the famine, however, was not a single isolated effort to terrorize the Ukrainian people; it was the worst in a series of government efforts to destroy a people. Other acts included the period of brutal forced communism, the harsh treatment of the so-called "kulaks," the destruction of lb J Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, the deportation of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and the collectivization of the land. Dr. Lysyj stated that Ukrainians have a moral responsibility to remember the victims of the Great Famine. The history books in the Soviet Union do not mention the holocaust of 1933, he said, adding that Ukrainians in the free world are the ones that must supply the world with the facts. He said that Ukrainians should continue to disseminate informa­ tion about the famine as does the DOBRUS publica- Violinist Raphael Wenke Recitation by Olia Kyrychenko No. 21 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, MAY 22,1983 5
