Saturday, November 24, 2012 marks International Holodomor Memorial Day.
On this day, let us remember the innocent victims in solidarity with the international community:
-
Honour the memory of Holodomor victims by pausing for a moment of silence at 19:32 h (7:32 p.m.) local time; -
·Light a candle of remembrance in your home; -
