Soviet authorities systematically seized and destroyed any visual or audio evidence of the Holodomor. Only a few remarkable individuals, such as Austrian engineer Alexander Wienerberger, managed to secretly snap and preserve such photos. Wienerberger worked at the Kharkiv Plastmas Plant in 1932 and 1933. His photographs illustrate the consequences of the horrifying man-made famine imposed by Stalin all over Ukraine, particularly in Kharkiv, which was then the capital of Ukraine. Radio Liberty presents little-known photos and material provided by Samara Pierce, the engineer’s great-granddaughter.  The excerpts below are taken from Alexander Wienerberger’s personal memoirs – Hart auf hart. 15 Jahre Ingenieur in Sowjetrußland. Ein Tatsachenbericht, Salzburg 1939 – (Hard Times. 15 years as Engineer in Soviet Russia. Factual Report, Salzburg, 1939). Three chapters in Wienerberger’s book are devoted to the Holodomor in Ukraine.
