This was the last part of our six part series, this is the bare minimum which we, as Canadians, should do not only for the millions of victims, but more importantly, for our descendants who must always remember the Holodomor and heighten the international community's sensitivity to the reoccurrence of similar tragedies.
All Canadians are invited to join the Ukrainian community in remembrance.
Let's reveal the truth about the Holodomor to the world!
