Information and educational materials on Holodomor

Preserving the memory of the Holodomor of 1932–1933 — the genocide of the Ukrainian people — and spreading the truth about this crime worldwide is an important mission for the global Ukrainian community. We offer a selection of materials from partners of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) — the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory and the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide. These videos, books, brochures, eyewitness accounts, and documentary exhibitions, including those in foreign languages, will help inform the international community about the tragedy of Ukrainians, honor the memory of the victims, and counter oblivion.
