Free Books about the Holodomor-Genocide

Every year on the fourth Saturday of November Ukrainians commemorate victims of the Holodomor, the 1932–33 famine that killed millions in Ukraine. Traditionally, on this day Ukrainians attend memorial services and put up symbolic vessels of grain and light candles in memory of the victims of the Holodomor and other deadly famines in Ukraine.

It is especially important to convey the truth about the Holodomor-genocide of the Ukrainian people, which was made by the USSR, to the world community, to spread true testimonies about the tragic events. For this purpose, the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance has posted several publications that can be downloaded for free.
