If you haven't seen it, watch the movie "Mr. Jones" (2019), about Gareth Jones, a British journalist who exposed the famines in Ukraine. You'll learn a lot, including how The New York Times aided those perpetrating the crimes.
Forgetting the rigged IMDB ratings and crappie trailers (don't watch it), here is a URL to remind you:
How did you find this? I have read only 200 pages of The Gulag Archipelago, which is only about 10% of it. Even so, it showed how depraved people can be, and how tough some people must be to endure and survive such deplorable conditions.
Watching the people who endured the horrible conditions and traumatic events made it even more real.
I have mentioned, over the years, the Holomodor to others, and the most frequent response has been, “What is that?” To realize how few people are aware of such an atrocity is a sobering reminder of the power of the propaganda machine. Nearly erasing one of the most significant atrocities committed against a people is beyond unforgivable. Those people mattered. By making it insignificant makes it all the easier to repeat.
Sincere thanks to you, Celia, for posting this. We are facing another Holomodor, but on a far wider scale. We must remember these people and events so we don’t repeat the atrocities. If only people cared, it would make all the difference.
