The 80th anniversary of the Holodomor (The Ukrainian Famine Genocide) will be commemorated by the Ukrainian American community of Western
New York. It will be held on Sunday November 24 at 1:00 PM at the Ukrainian Church Hall, 200 Como Park Blvd. in Cheektowaga, N.Y. This commemoration is sponsored by the Buffalo chapter of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and will begin with a memorial prayer service by the area\'s Ukrainian clergy for the millions of victims of this horrific national tragedy; followed by a concert in their memory.
Also the remaining survivors of the Famine will be recognized and honored.
The Famine Genocide is the darkest page in the history of the Ukrainian nation. Millions of innocent victims were starved to death through a deliberate Soviet policy aimed at destroying the nationally conscious Ukrainian peasantry. The Ukrainian Genocide ranks among the worst examples of man\'s inhumanity and cruelty and is perhaps the most extreme example of the use of starvation as a weapon of mass destruction.
This act of physical destruction was accompanied by mass executions and exile of Ukraine\'s intellectual and religious elites in an attempt to destroy the
wellsprings of Ukraine\'s national identity;its language, its culture and its history.
This commemoration will take place the week of Thanksgiving when Ukrainian Americans together with their fellow citizens will be giving thanks to the
Almighty for the blessings of living in the land of freedom and opportunity and at the same time praying that their ancestral homeland will remain free from
the despotism that has ravaged Ukraine for centuries.
