The Holodomor Survivor’s Story

C1

Nina was only a child when the Holodomor, the man-made famine of the 1930s, devastated her village.
She remembered the empty fields, the cries of the hungry, and the silence that followed.
Decades later, Nina shared her story with her grandchildren, determined to ensure that the world would never forget.
Her vivid memories painted a picture of both unimaginable suffering and quiet acts of defiance, such as neighbors sharing their last scraps of food.
Nina’s story became part of a larger effort to educate people about the Holodomor, and she lived to see Ukraine commemorate its victims with memorials and national remembrance days.
