Testimony of a 1932-1933 famine victim on a commemorative stone plate outside the Holodomor Monument and Museum in Kiev, Ukraine
Statement by a 1932-1933 famine victim : "I am so afraid for hunger, I’m so scared for my children, God, please save us and be merciful. All this would not be so terrible if we would not have had a harvest. But they took away our bread and created this famine." Alexandra Radchenko, Kharkiv Region, 1932. The Holodomor (literal translation Death by hunger) was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian SSR, part of the Soviet famine of 1932–1933. During the famine, which is also known as the "terror-famine in Ukraine" and "famine-genocide in Ukraine", millions of Ukrainians died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.
