Why Do So Few People Know About The Holodomor?

In the early 1930s, millions of Ukrainians starved to death. This was not because of drought, or war, or natural disaster… but because the Soviet state took their food. It was called collectivization. This was Stalin’s plan to force peasants into state-run farms. But in Ukraine, it became something horrific. As resistance grew, grain quotas increased, borders closed, and armed guards confiscated even scraps of food. Villages were sealed off and starvation was used as a weapon. People ate bark, leaves, even their own dead. It’s known today as the Holodomor, “death by hunger.” Whether you call it genocide or policy gone mad, the result was the same: entire families and entire regions wiped out. History often remembers the dictators, but we must remember the victims. Especially the ones no one wanted to or wants to talk about.
