Holodomor Awareness (International Day of Remembrance)

Holodomor Awareness (International Day of Remembrance), observed annually on November 26, honors the memory of the millions of Ukrainians who suffered and died during the Holodomor—a devastating famine in 1932-1933 caused by Soviet policies. This day recognizes the tragedies resulting from forced grain requisitions, economic repression, and political oppression. It aims to educate people worldwide about these historical injustices, promote awareness of the importance of truth and remembrance, and honor the resilience of those affected. The observance encourages reflection on the somber history and the ongoing importance of human rights, sovereignty, and the prevention of future atrocities.
