2018 was a breakthrough year with regard to the U.S. government, through Congressional resolutions, recognizing the Holodomor in Ukraine as an act of genocide.
Both the Senate in S.Res. 435 (115th) and the House of Representatives in H.Res. 931 (115th) passed identical “simple resolutions” that included that recognition in the body of the legislation.
On the German Parliament's website, a petition was published on the recognition of the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Not all states have recognized Holodomor. Our goal is like UNESCO’s “building peace in the minds of men” by promoting tolerance, understanding and dialogue between nations, as well as its impact on global educational policies and practices, it seems advisable that the knowledge about the tragedy of Holodomor be disseminated through UNESCO’s framework to ensure that the lessons of this tragic page are inculcated in young generations States that recognized Holodomor as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people:
“Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda. There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition.”
(as reported by the New York Times correspondent and Pulitzer-prize winner Walter Duranty)
