"Holod - 33": a young director's requiem to the victims of the famine

by Marta Kolomayets

Where has that life gone? And what has become of all that awful torment and torture? Can it really be that no one will ever answer for everything that happened? That it will all be forgotten without even any words to commemorate it? That the grass will grow over it? - - vasily Grossman NEW YORK - The grass has indeed covered the graves of the victims of the unknown holocaust, the famine of 1933 that killed more than 7 million people throughout eastern Ukraine. And for nearly 70 years this crime against humanity has remained a blank spot on the pages of Soviet Ukrainian history books. Only three years ago did the Soviet Ukrainian historian Stanislav Kulchytsky first officially mention the results of Stalin's forced collectivization and only earlier this year did the Central Committee of the Communist Farty of Ukraine issue a resolution officially admitting th^t the famine was caused by the seizure of crops. This September, the first international conference on the 1930s famine will be held in Kiev and scholars from both Ukraine and the West will have the opportunity to better acquaint themselves with archives and accounts of the tragic genocide that aimed to destroy Ukrainian nationalism among the populace. For Ukrainians in the West, the memory of the lfama D'Avignon famine has been immortalized in such books as Robert Oles Yanchuk and vasy!
