The trauma of the Holodomor was hidden from public knowledge for decades during Soviet regime. As a hidden narrative it wandered through the literature and the memories of Ukrainian people around the world, never forgotten by those who suffered and lost their loved ones. But not only they remembered and wrote about. Prof. Anna Gaidash will highlight books about the Holodomor written by US-American authors (Bohdan Boychuk, Askold Melnyczuk, Eric Litteken) and will talk to Alexander Kratochvil about her research results.

November 23, 2024 is the official Holodomor Memorial Day.

A cooperation with Leipzig University Library and Polish Institute Leipzig as part of our Ukrainian Week 2024.
