The Nation’s Capitol added to its honored and assorted memorials by one on Saturday November 7. The Holodomor Memorial is dedicated to the millions of Ukrainians who perished during the 1932-1933 genocidal famines. In Ukrainian, holodomor means, “murder by starvation.”

U.S. Representative Sander Levin (D-MI) was the keynote speaker at the dedication ceremony who introduced the congressional legislation authorizing the Memorial’s construction on federal land in Washington D.C.
