From 1932 to 1933, Josef Stalin and the government of the Soviet Union deliberately created a famine in Ukraine. Through collectivization and forced exports, with the purpose of destroying Ukrainian nationalism and those who opposed Stalin’s rule, Ukraine was stripped of the grain that fed its population. Millions of Ukrainians died of starvation.
Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Chief Education Officer, will present an introduction to the Holodomor. The History Highlights series features Holocaust and human rights topics presented by Museum historians and educators.
