Memorial Commemorating Ukrainian Genocide to Open in Washington
« on: November 06, 2015, 07:21:14 am »
Long overdue. Stalin and his henchmen including Khruschev were responsible for the deaths of over 6,000,000 Ukranians and this well before Hitler and his camps.

"A memorial to commemorate the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-33 will be dedicated in Washington on Saturday. The memorial was authorized in 2006 by an act of Congress introduced by Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI).

The memorial commemorates the Holodomor, the genocide committed against Ukrainians by the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin. An estimated four million Ukrainians died of starvation in a government-created famine.

The United States formally recognized the Holodomor as a genocide in 2003.

But the Russian government still denies that the Holodomor was a genocide, with the Kremlin-funded Sputnik News repeating a discredited Soviet-era claim that it was a hoax fabricated by the West.

The memorial is located in Washington, D.C. two blocks west of Union Station.

The dedication ceremony will take place on Saturday at 2 pm in front of Union Station, which is also hosting an exhibit about the memorial through November 14.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the memorial took place on December 4, 2013, and was attended by over 200 people."
