The Holodomor—Ukraine’s genocidal famine of 1932–33 (from holod, “hunger,” and moryty, “to kill”)—was the result of deliberate policies imposed by the Stalinist regime. The International Center of the San Francisco Public Library, together with the Ukrainian-American Coordinating Council of Northern California and the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco, presents a commemorative program featuring a historical presentation and a documentary screening. Dr. Nataliia Goshylyk will discuss how the Holodomor has been documented and remembered in literature. The program also includes the film Hunger for Truth: The Rhea Clyman Story (2018), about a young reporter who traveled through the starving Soviet heartland and courageously exposed the famine.
