This church was constructed in part as the first monument to the victims of the Holodomor anywhere in the world. The UOC of USA Metropolia Center has also been the location of many Holodomor commemoration activities over the decades. plain 2023-07-06T17:05:27-04:00 Michael Andrec b47dc81430ec8a9df031d1883b5156df4684c670This page is referenced by:

This exhibition does not attempt to present scholarly history or to address the vast scholarly and popular literature that now exists on the topic of the Holodomor. For those interested in more historical detail, there are a number of recent books in English that deal with the Holodomor and its broader context. We particularly recommend Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder and Red Famine by Anne Applebaum.
There are also many excellent online resources on the Holodomor, including the Canadian-based Holodomor Research and Education Consortium, the Holodomor Museum in Kyiv, the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre in Toronto, and the Holodomor Resource Library (holodomorct.org). These sites include a wealth of historical information, oral histories, educational resources, and other information. For demographic and cartographic resources, we recommend the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute "MAPA Digital Atlas of Ukraine" Great Famine Project and excellent summaries of published research on the Holodomor Resource Library "Maps and demography" page. For those with Ukrainian, Russian, and other relevant language skills, the Holodomor Digital Archives project of the Institute of Ukrainian History at the Ukrainian National Academy has a wealth of transcribed primary source materials.
For a more general overview of Ukrainian history from ancient times through the eve of the full-scale Russian invasion, we suggest the concise and very readable account by Serhii Plokhy in The Gates of Europe.
The UHEC has a special connection to Holodomor commemorations and monuments. However, since either of these topics could be the subject of an entire exhibition on its own, we have chosen to not cover them here in order to keep the scope of this project within realistic bounds. There has been considerable scholarly study of these topics, including a recent monograph by Wiktoria Kudela-Świątek.
