History Highlights: The Holodomor - The Forgotten Genocide

The conversation will take place on the online platform Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered guests via email one hour before the start of the program.

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. Join Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Chief Education Officer, for an introduction to the Holodomor.

The History Highlights series features Holocaust and human rights topics presented by Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum historians and educators. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This program is recommended for high school students and adults.
