Catholic bishops
issue famine appeal
An appeal ofthe Ukrainian Catho­
lic bishops in the U.S.A. commemo­
rating the tragic 50th anniversary of
the artificially created Great Famine
in Ukraine.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Chris!:
The sacred scriptures warn us to be
carefuHrrot to enact unjust laws.
"Woe to those who enact unjust
statutes and who write oppressive
decrees" (Isaiah 10,1). Fifty years ago
in Ukraine a most tragic event took
place wherein millions of people
perished in an artificially contrived
famine, engineered by the godless
regime of Soviet Moscow. In order to
physically compel the agricultural
class of eastern Ukraine to join the
collective fanning concept of the
state and in order to do away with
free enterprise, a diabolic plan was
conceived to literally destroy the
breadwinners of the nation. Entire
towns and villages starved to death,
ironically in the land that has been
called in history "the breadbasket of
Europe." The world was unaware of
what was happening because of the
deceitful propaganda that was dis­
seminated from the regime in Mos­
cow. These people that survived the
horrors of that artificially created
famine have documented their testi­
monies into a terrible tale of man's
inhumanity to man.
We appeal to you at this time that
you remember all those brothers and
sisters of ours in the Lord who
perished so tragically. At the same
time we must be mindful of those
who still suffer oppression, hunger
and want in Ukraine. We ask all of
our priests to celebrate the divine
liturgy on Sunday, May 15,1983, for
the intentions of those who perished
so tragically in that famine of the
1930s. In this we join our non-
Catholic, Orthodox brothers and
sisters, in common prayer for our
brothers and sisters. At the same time
we pray the Lord grant our people a
better tomorrow, so that "with one
mind and one heart, we may glorify
the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit" (divine liturgy).

Afghan government forces massacre civilians
NEW YORK - Afghan government
forces are reported to have killed 120
unarmed villagers in Logar province,
south of the capital of Kabul, in August
1982, according to information reach­
ing Amnesty International recently.
The killings are reported by Al's
sources to have taken place in the village
of Keshem Kale. No further details are
yet available.
In another widely reported massacre
in mid-September, government forces
are alleged to have killed 10S unarmed
people in the village of Padkhwab-e-
Shana, also south of the capital.

State Department holds seminar Ukrainian groups
consolidate forces
for East European ethnic press editors
by Dr. Walter Dushnyck
WASHINGTON - A special se­
minar on U.S. policy on Eastern Europe
and the USSR' was held on Friday,
March 11, at the State Department for
editors of East European ethnic
newspapers in the United States.
The conference-seminar, initiated by
Edward J. Derwinski, former U.S.
congressman from Illinois and now a
State Department counselor, was for
"background only," so no specific
official can be cited.
In all, nine highly specialized offi­
cials of the State Department spoke on
such topics as overview of the present
administration's foreign policy, Eastern
Europe, human rights, U.S.-Soviet
relations, emigration policies of the
USSR and its satellites, and arms-
control issues. After each presentation,
participants were allowed to question the
speaker on the issue related to his
presentation.
Following is a summation of the pre­
sentations.
Problems related to Ukraine
At least two speakers referred to the
oppression of the Ukrainian people.
One, in commenting on Soviet jamming
of Radio Liberty and Radio Free
Europe, said that "the Ukrainians and
the Uzbeks in the USSR do not have
self-determination." He added that in
the United Nations some thoughts are
being expressed that the USSR should
give Ukraine and Byelorussia "a full
status of independence and have them
establish embassies all over the world
and end the anomaly that, though being
members of the United Nations, they are
not sovereign states" at home. The same
diplomat further said that in the "not-
too-distant future, we are going to
speak for self-determination for the
Ukrainians."

Kampelman salutes women political prisoners WCFU presidium meets in NX,
MADRID - Max Kampelman,
head of the U.S. delegation to the 35-
country conference to review the 1975
Helsinki Accords, said in a statement
delivered on March 8, International
Women's Day, that his government
salutes all Soviet women imprisoned for
their work on behalf of human rights.
He noted that out of 51 imprisoned
members of the Helsinki groups, set up
by Soviet citizens to monitor their
country's compliance with the Helsinki
agreement, seven were women.
Among the women cited by Mr.
Kampelman were three members of the
Ukrainian Helsinki Group - Oksana
Meshko, Oksana Popovych and Olha
Heyko. Ms. Meshko, 78, is currently in
internal exile, while Ms. Popo`vych is in
the seventh year of an eight-year labor
camp term. Ms. Heyko, 29, the wife of
group member Mykola Matusevych,
was scheduled to be released this month
after having completed a three-year
labor-camp term.
lryna Senyk, 57, another imprisoned
member of the Ukrainian group, was
not mentioned by Mr. Kampelman.
However, he did cite the imprisonment

TORONTO - The Ukrainian Ca-

money has been earmarked for the
Ukrainian families whose members had
been interned during the state of martial
law in Poland.
The church committee contributed
the sum of S5.000, and 54,000 was
donated by families of the parish.
Furthermore the church committee has
pledged to match every contribution of
parishioners, dollar for dollar, when
parishioners' contributions go over the
55,000 mark.

The American attitude toward Ru-
mania has cooled in the last weeks
because of the so-called "educational
tax," which the Rumanian government
is imposing on those citizens who want
to emigrate. One of the sharpest re-
actions of Washington was the with-
drawal from Rumania of the "most-
favored-nation" clause, resulting in
higher tariffs for Rumanian imports
into the United States.
Relations with Hungary are warm
due to the fact that, of all satellite
countries, it has the least violations of
human-rights and oppression in general.
Hungary does enjoy "most-favored-
nation" status with the United States.
As for Czechoslovakia, its rating in
Washington is very poor due to its
oppressive policies toward dissidents.
Poland enjoys a special interest in
Washington due to the fact that there is
a large Polish American community
and because of traditional sympathy
held for Poland since 1918. Yet, the

MEDIA ACTION COALITION
ACTION ITEMS
The Great Famine
The horror of millions of people
dying in 1932-33 might have been
prevented by the public outcry of
people throughout the world. Unfor­
tunately, it was then politically more
convenient to pretend that the tragedy
did not exist. It still is more con­
venient to pretend that it never
occurred. We must not let this happen.
Last week The Ukrainian Weekly
dedicated its entire issue to this
terrible tragedy and thus provided us
with the necessary details so that we
can inform our fellow Americans
about the Great Famine.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Please write to the letters editor
of your local, regional and national
newspapers or national news maga­
zines and tell them of this terrible
tragedy. Remind them that when on
January 30, 1933, millions of Ukrai­
nians were dying a torturous and
prolonged death of starvation, the
world chose to remain silent and
indifferent. On that same day -
Hitler ascended to power.
2. Call or write your federal legis­
lators - they have received copies of
The Ukrainian Weekly - and urge
them to comment on the anniversary
of this tragedy on the floor of the
Congress or as extensions of remarks
in the Congressional Record.
3. Write to the columnists featured
in your newspaper and ask them to
comment about this famine in their
columns. If possible, include a copy
of The Ukrainian Weekly as reference
material. Addresses of the columnists
may be obtained from the reference
desk of your library. You can also
write to them in care of the news­
paper, and your letter will be for­
warded to the appropriate address.
4. Write to the editorial page editor
of your newspaper and ask him to
comment in editorials about this
anniversary. If possible, include a
copy of The Ukrainian Weekly as
reference material. Additional copies
of this special issue of The Ukrainian
Weekly may be obtained directly
from the publishers.
5. If successful in any one of the
above, remember to send a note of
thanks.

UNA president thanks ethnic leaders
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - UNA Su­
preme President John O. Flis has
responded to the letters of ethnic and
community leaders who pledged support
and extended sympathy on the occasion
of the 50th anniversary of the tragic
Great Famine of 1932-33 in Ukraine.
He also thanked U.S. Sen. Charles
Percy, chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, and Illinois Gov.
James R. Thompson for their state­
ments of concern.
The letters of these leaders and public
officials were published last week in The
Weekly's' special issue on the Great
Famine.
In his letter to Aloysius Mazewski,
president of the Polish National Alliance,
Mr. Flis wrote the following:
"The Ukrainian National Associa­
tion wishes to extend its thanks and
appreciation to you and to your mem­
bers for your message of solidarity with
Ukrainian Americans in commemorat­
ing the 50th anniversary of the geno-
cidal Great Famine suffered by our
Ukrainian brethren in the years 1932-33
with the loss of over 7 million victims.
"We will take the liberty of reprinting

ties since its inception in 1970.
Issue 7-8, which appeared in the
spring of 1974 and was published in
the West in 1976, devoted much
space to the famine. Maksym Sahay`
dak's (a pseudonym) piece titled
"Partial Cooperation and Astute
Diplomacy," which analyzed detente
from the point of view of democratic
circles in Soviet Ukraine, mentioned
the famine as an unmistakable example
of the Soviet regime's historic re-
liance on terror to stay in power.
The only other article in Issue 7-8,
"Ethnocide of Ukrainians in the
USSR," dealt extensively with the
famine as part of the systematic
destruction of the Ukrainian nation
through genocide and forced Russifi`
cation.
Using a series of demographic
tables, the article showed that forced
collectivization and dekulakization
wiped out some 5 to 7 million Ukrai-
nian peasants and forced survivors to
abandon agriculture, flee to the cities
and become part of Stalin's in-
dustrialization effort.
"The singular characteristic of the
famine of 1932-33 was that it was not
a natural disaster, but had been
planned at the top in the Kremlin,"
the article noted. "It was, in a manner,
a political famine."
The article also said that the huge
amounts of grain procured from
Ukraine were sold on the interna-
tional market to pay for Stalin's
industrialization policies and feed
cities outside Ukraine.
The famine was also mentioned in
the first public statement issued by
the Ukrainian Patriotic Movement, a
recently formed dissident group. It
cited the Great Famine as part of the
Soviet regime's "policy of national
genocide in Ukraine."
In his recently published memoirs,
former dissident Gen. Petro Grigo`
renko, a co-founder of the Ukrainian
Helsinki Group who was exiled to
the West in 1977, recalled the effects
of the famine on his native village of
Borisovka.
While living in Leningrad, he was
summoned to his village by news of
his father's illness, which he was to
discover had been caused by malnu-
trition. On the train trip through
Ukraine, he noticed ragged bands of
emaciated peasants at virtually every
major station, begging for food.
Unable to believe that the mass
hunger in his village was anything
more than the result of administra-
tive mismanagement, he wrote the
Central Committee, which respond-
ed by agreeing with his assessment
and supplying food to Borisovka. It
wasn't until 1956, wrote Gen. Grigo-
renko, that he discovered "how the
peasantry's resistance to collective
farms had been broken with the help
of a man-made famine."
There are doubtlessly other
examples of the famine's relation to
modern Ukrainian dissent. The scope
of the tragedy, and its explicit anti-
Ukrainianism, give it a central place
in the history of Ukraine in this
century, and make it a natural emo-
tional and moral rallying point for
patriotic, nationally conscious U-
kramians who hope for an indepen-
dent state.

St. Andrew's Memorial Church:monument to Ukrainian martyrs
by Roma Sochan Hadzewycz
SOUTH BOUND BROOK, N.J. -
St. Andrew's Memorial Ukrainian
Orthodox Church rises out of the
surrounding flat suburban area, clearly
visible from nearby Interstate Route
287. Built in a style atypical of Ameri­
can houses of worship, incorporating
elements of the Kozak Baroque
architecture once popular in Ukraine, it
is at once recognizable as a church.
Few realize, however, that it is not
only a church where daily prayers are
offered to God, but also a monument to
millions of Ukrainians, who, as the
church's cornerstone notes, "gave their
lives in fight or in martyrdom for liberty
and national independence of their
country,"and especially to those millions
who perished in the Great Famine of
1932-33. Some 7 million men, women
and children died in that Soviet-con­
trived famine planned by Stalin to
destroy — both spiritually and physi­
cally — the Ukrainian nation.
St. Andrew's Memorial Church is the
fulfillment of a pledge made by Metro­
politan Mstyslav, leader of the Ukrai­
nian Orthodox Church, soon after he,
as a bishop, toured Left Bank, or
eastern, Ukraine.
In 1942 then-Bishop Mstyslav traveled

were all plowed under.
The Soviet regime that had forcibly
taken control of once-free Ukraine "had
tried to erase the memory of the past by
destroying the churches and ceme­
teries," he recalled. Among the de­
molished cemeteries, he added, was the
one where Ivan Kotliarevsky, the U-
krainian writer who introduced the
vernacular as the language of literature,
was buried. -^s
Years later, in 1965, at the dedication
ceremonies of St. Andrew's Church, the
hierarch explained: "When I was forced

during an interview his residence
located several hundred feet from St.
Andrew's Church.
And it was with this in mind that, in
Somerset County, N.J., to serve as its
center, the hierarch was already vi­
sualizing that the tract of land wpuld
.become the site of a national Ukrainian
cemetery and church-monument.
The archbishop began to set to paper his
conception of the church and cemetery.
He insisted that the church be original
and extraordinary, and that it have
elements of Ukrainian-style architec­
ture which would reflect the genius of
the Ukrainian nation. And, he felt, the
church must reach high into the sky.
Archbishop Mstyslav engaged a
Ukrainian Canadian architect, George
Kodak, to design the church, and he
showed him his own drawings. A pro­
ject was prepared, and a fund-raising
drive was announced for the church that
was to become the centerpiece of the
Ukrainian Orthodox Center.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for con­
struction of the church took place on
July 21, 1955, and thus the first step
toward the realization of Archbishop
Mstyslav's pledge was taken.
Meanwhile, as the church was being
completed, St. Andrew's Ukrainian
Orthodox Cemetery began operations
in 1964 with the burial there of the
remains of the renowned Ukrainian
sculptor, Serhiy Lytvynenko.
Dedication ceremonies of the me­
morial church took place on October
10, 1965 — 10 years after construction
was begun. Nearly 10,000 faithful
flocked to the Ukrainian Orthodox
Center of St. Andrew the First-Called
Apostle to view the blessing of the new
church by Metropolitan John Theodo-
rovich with the assistance of Arch­
bishop Mstyslav..
In his sermon that day Metropolitan
John noted that the church was built for
the benefit "of our children and the
future generations of our nation."
"In it fthe church) we will daily offer
our prayers to God — our prayers for
the martyrs of our crucified Church, for
Metropolitan Vasyl, for all our bishops,
clergy and faithful who were" brutally
tortured. They all are alive in God and

gettable.

Panorama of Ukrainian culture in the Big Apple
The pysanka
Call it a work of art, an art form or a
craft, the Ukrainian pysanka is intrinsi­
cally Ukrainian. It has become an
identity symbol that the public re­
cognizes as a truly Ukrainian objet
d'art. Every year more and more people
flock to workshops and demonstrations
to learn about the batik technique of
decorating Easter eggs with age-old
Ukrainian talismans. Magazine and
newspaper editors can't resist the eye­
catching combination of bright colors,
intricate designs and ritual significance.
This spring, pysanky are being seen
around town in an exhibit at The
Ukrainian Museum, in workshops at
the New York Botanical Gardens in the
Bronx, and in Ukrainian gift shops in
the East Village. There are pictures on
the coyer of The New York Times' new
Games magazine, in a mini portfolio in
the April issue of USAir magazine, and
in the February issue of McCall's
Decorating Crafts and Ideas magazine.
The Ukrainian Museum has mounted
an exhibit of some 300 beautiful py­
sanky from its own collection. The
exhibition, open Wednesdays through
Sundays, І to S p.m., except for Julian
Easter Sunday on May 8, will run
through June 26.
Supplementing the museum's py­
sanky workshops and demonstrations
are showings of Slavko Nowytski's film
"Pysanka," winner of the Golden Eagle
and Gold Hugo awards in 1976 and a
finalist in the American Film Festival.
Two workshop sessions a day are
offered for adults on March 27, April 9,
10, 16 and 17 (separate workshops for
those from 12 to 16 were held on March
20 and 26). All supplies necessary for
completing a pysanka, plus a booklet of
basic traditional designs, are included in
the fee (S10 for adults, S8.50 for mem­
bers, students and seniors, free for
children under 12). For information,
call 228-0110.
How-to demonstrations were held on
two occasions earlier this month, and
another come-see-how-it's-done session
is scheduled for April 2. The fee is S2.50;
S2 for members, students and seniors,
and free for kids under 12. The fee for
workshops and demonstrations, which
are funded in part by the New York
State Council on the Arts, includes
admission to the museum.
If you'd iike to pop in to the museum
at 203 Second Ave. just to ogle the
pysanky which are on display, the
museum admission is SI (50 cents for
students and seniors), a real bargain
when you consider that you actually get
three exhibits for the price of one -
intricately decorated Ukrainian Easter
eggs, architectural splendors in "The
Lost Architecture of Kiev" exhibit
(through May 31), and colorful Ukrai­
nian folk costumes (a continuing ex­
hibit).
For the fifth year in a row, Marts
Jacuczko of Queens has been presiding
at Easter egg-decorating workshops
sponsored by the New York Botanical
Gardens in the Bronx. This year's
classes, heid on March 18 and 20, began
on both days at 9:30 a.m. with the
showing of Mr. Nowytski's "Pysanka"
film and ended around 2:30 in the
afternoon as beaming homemakers,
senior citizens and teenagers prepared
to take home the pysanky they had
lovingly completed by hand from step
one. The workshops were held ii. the

Thanks to Lilia Dlaboha Senenko,
the April issue of USAir magazine
carries an attractive three-page treat­

"From Ukraine, With Love." An edito­
rial assistant at USAir magazine who
also writes an events column for Am-

Elementary school students in Ko-
diak, Alaska, and other Alaskan towns
have developed an interest in the Ukrai­
nian egg-decorating process and have
been ordering decorating kits and
supplies from the Surma Book Com­
pany on East Seventh Street. Surma
owner Myron Surmach doesn4 know
what generated this interest. Perhaps it
was the mention of Ukrainian Easter
eggs and his store's name in the February
issue of McCall's Decorating Crafts and
Ideas magazine that sparked the whole
thing. Incidentally, Surma's decorating
kits are currently being sold in the gift
shop of the Smithsonian Institute in
Washington.
Since many Ukrainians will be cele­
brating Easter Sunday on May 8, there
are still six weeks left to handcraft your
own pysanky for your Easter basket and
for gift-giving to friends. Take a quick
decorating course at The Ukrainian
Museum, stock up on supplies at Arka,
Surma or the Eko Gift store at 145
Second Ave., and join the do-it-your­
self crowd.

His tying goal in Vancouver was
preceded by two chances that left him
baffled and angry. "What the Sam Hill
is going on?" he wondered as he drilled a
wrist shot into the glove of Richard
Brodeur from 1S feet away. Ten seconds
later, teammate Thomas Steen carried a
face-off to the front of the net. The puck
spilled free to Lukowich, but (alas!) he
hit the post.
Finally, Willy Lindstrom snapped a
shot which Brodeur blocked. The re­
bound fell at Lukowich`s feet. Instantly,
he zipped a shot into the top of the net.
The following night, Lukowich was
in approximately the same spot when he
put away a pass from rookie Brian
Mullen.

everyone — when he plays, that is.

PRESS RELEASE No. 18 (July 4, 1982 to January 3, 1983)
Dear Benefactors and Friends.
In reviewing this 18th press release we notice the great success of our Memorial
Fund Raising Campaign for the building of ou r Ukrainian National Shrine in
Washington. D.C. ,, \
As of January 3, 1983 we have visited 149 parishes, and. God willing, we hope to
complete the visitation of the 60 remaining parishes in the United States. This report
indicates that as of that df y. our benefactors have chosen 1915 Memorials, and given
3822 i-esser Donations for a general total of S2.477.090 40 (with a sum of J612.350.0D
remaining in pleadges).
Taking into account the wonderful response and progress of our Memorial
Campaign, we trust in God. that by the fall of 1984 we will be in the position to start
building the upper phase of our National Shrine, namely, the Shrine proper.

1932-34 Great Famine
(Continuedfrompage 7)
which mortality is listed in the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, only one - the Chinese famine of 1877-78
- is given a higher total.81
Thus, though precise estimates are lacking, it
appears that the Soviet famine of 1932-34 has the
dubious distinction of ranking among the great
famines of all time.
B. Descriptions of the famine
But mere numbers — appalling as they may be —
cannot begin to divulge the full impact of the famine.
To do this we must turn to eyewitness accounts.
While the" dying and the dead were to be found, at
first, on the streets of the main cities, it was, as
previously suggested, in the villages that the famine
was at its worst. Fedor Belov was a resident of such a
village. He writes:
"The famine of 1932-33 was the most terrible and
destructive that the Ukrainian people have ever
experienced. The peasants ate dogs, horses, rotten
potatoes, the bark of trees, grass — anything they
could find, incidents of cannibalism were not
uncommon. The people were like wild beasts, ready to
devour one another. And no matter what they did,
they went on dying, dying, dying. They died singly and
in families. They died everywhere — in yards, on
streetcars and on trains. There was no one to bury
these victims of the Stalinist famine. A man is capable
of forgetting a great deal, but these terrible scenes of
July 1932
(Continuedfrompage 7)
Communist Party regarded this as sabotage by
the peasants.
An editor's note following the news brief
stated that news from Moscow shows the regime
has admitted that the situation in Ukraine has
reached catastrophic proportions.
On the next day, July 16, Molotov, who was
attending a Communist Party conference in
K,harkiv, criticized the party for planning
industrialization and neglecting agriculture. He
stated that buildings and factories stand empty
and the economic situation in Ukraine de­
teriorates. In his speech to the conference
participants, Molotov stated that the peasants
go hungry: "Communists have got to mend their
relations with the peasants in Ukraine, and not
allow the enemies of the Soviet government to
propagandize against it."
Thus, he said, the improvement of the agricul­
tural situation in Ukraine will not only alleviate
the economic situation in Ukraine, but the
political situation as well. He added that the
Jewish population is moving into the towns from
the villages to find food.
In a July 18 article titled "Famine in Soviet
Ukraine and its Main Reason," the author stated
that he had received news of the tragic situation
in Ukraine. He wrote: "The horrible paradox of
the situation is that the breadbasket is suffering
from hunger."
The author noted that this is political-
economic exploitation of the people perpetrated
by the Soviet regime. It follows the pattern of the
famine of 1921-22, when all the available food
was exported out of Ukraine into the distant
Volga regions.
In 1928-29 a similar famine, although on a
lesser scale, once again invaded Ukraine.

starvation will be forgotten by no one who saw them"82
An agronomist in another village similarly reported:
"The people daily died in dozens. The bodies of the
dead lay in all the villages, along the roads and in the
fields. Special brigades were formed in the villages to
bury the dead, but they were too weak to collect all the
corpses and these were devoured by those dogs which
had escaped being eaten and had gone savage. The
gravedigger of today might be a corpse tomorrow."83
Still another collective farm member told Victor
Kravchenko, then a village Communist Party repre­
sentative: "...1 saw blood and death when I was in the
army-but nothing as terrible as what's been going on
right here in my village.'`14
One might wish to classify these accounts as
exaggerated, isolated events. Unfortunately, however,
such does not seem to be in the case. Similar, equally
gruesome tales are provided by several Americans who
visited the afflicted areas - including Mr. and Mrs.
Stebalo, Fred Beal, Harry Lang, and later, Thomas
Walker.85 Walker included an extensive and chilling
array of pictures - as did Ammende in his book.86
Less explicit, but no less disturbing accounts are to be
found in many of the other references noted in the
course of this paper.
A particularly ghastly phase of the famine, noted by
many, was cannibalism. Perhaps the first public notice
of this was made in June 1933 when a woman doctor in
Ukraine wrote: "Our situation is such: I have not yet
become a cannibal, but I am not sure that I shall not be
one by the time my letter reaches you."87 Other
references to cannibalism appeared several months
later.88
Reasons for this famine included the requisition
of all grains from the peasants as well as a
terrible drought.
There are no natural causes for the famine of
1932, the author wrote. "The harvest of 1931 was
plentiful, but the government took such harsh
measures with the peasants that they were forced
to give up 70 percent of everything harvested.
Collectivization has forced the peasants to pay
up to 31 percent in taxes although they make up
only 19 percent of the total population of the
Soviet Union. The government also did not
deliver the seeds to be planted in Ukraine, thus
most of the land stands barren this yearT" he
wrote.
The author ended his article by stating: "The
real reason for these politics is known only to
those who know and understand the existence of
the Soviet government in Ukraine, its true
character and goals. Famine is the most certain
political ally of the regime which now occupies
Ukraine, but this ally can also become the most
dangerous enemy of that government -because
every stick has two ends."
On Ju)y 22 an article translated and reprinted
from the Italian press was also published in
Svoboda. It dealt with the agricultural situation
in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Bureau in London printed an
English report about the percentage of land
sown and the crops yielded. After visiting
Ukraine, a Sunday Times correspondent, A. T.
Cholerton, wrote: "Everybody speaks only about
bread."
On July 28, an article headlined "Letter from
Ukraine," found its way to Svoboda. Written by
a Jewish woman, it first appeared in the Ottawa
Hebrew News. The names of the people and
places were omitted to protect the family.
Excerpts of the letter follow:

Whiting Williams reported that in Ukraine "...canni­
balism has become commonplace.'" Harry Lang
recorded that:
"In the office of a Soviet functionary I saw a poster
on the wall which struck my attention. It showed the
picture of a mother in distress, with a swollen child at
her feet, and over the picture was the inscription:
EAT1NGOFDEADCHILDREN IS BARBARISM.
The Soviet official explained to me: '...We distributed
such posters in hundreds of villages, especially in the
Ukraine. We had to.' , s o
In some instances, parents would not wait until their
children died, but would kill them. The same would be
true of other relatives." There is, of course, no record
of how many cases of this sort there were, but it is
revealing that among the prisoners of Solovky in 1936,
"...there were 325 persons guilty of cannibalism...`^2

"Dear Sister, We are starving and beg you to
send some food. I know that you are having hard
times yourself to make ends meet, but there
would be a blessing on you if you could send me
some money at least to buy food. If you like, you
may send it to Kiev, where there is a food agency,
and they will forward me the food. I appealed to
our brother, but he writes to me that in that part
of Russia conditions, as far as food is concerned,
are better, but there is a severe penalty for
anyone caught sending food.
"...Conditions are terrible here and one dare
not trust the other. The family that lives next
door to us was attacked by the Cheka and the
son was taken to prison. The Cheka released him
when his uncle from America sent him S200. 1
shouldn't write about such things, for it may
mean prison and even something worse, but I
have lost hope and don't care what happens."
In July 1932, around the world:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the Demo­
cratic bid for presidential candidate, as the
Democratic convention ended in Chicago.
A fire in Coney Island sent thousands home
and caused S5 million of damage, destroying
four square blocks of buildings.
The Russian emigre, Gorgylov, who assassi­
nated French president Paul Doumer, was
sentenced to death.
In Lausanne, Switzerland, Germany and France
reached an agreement as to Germany's war debt,
which later that month resulted in Germany's
insistence on negating sections of the Treaty of
Versailles.
German Chancellor von Papen, who
also served as commissioner for Prussia,
suspended the Prussian Parliament and ousted
Social Democrat Otto Braun, who had been
premier since 1920.

of their torturers, for those who died in
the starvation, cold and hard labor of
exile. They all are alive in God and alive
in our memories. They are unfor­
gettable.
"In it we will daily offer our prayers to
God for those millions of our people
who were mercilessly sentenced by the
enemy to a horrifying slow death from
starvation as a result of the oppressor's
attempts to destroy the power of our
nation and to erase in the people the
very dream of freedom. They all are live
in God and alive in our memories. They
are unforgettable.
"It is in their memory that we erected
this memorial church-monument," the
metropolitan explained.
In his address. Archbishop Mstyslav
summarized the significance of the
memorial church: "it is a monument on
the graves of our predecessors and those
dear to us, ...an expression of deep
respect for the heroesand martyrs of the
Ukrainian nation, ...a very modest cross
on the graves of the millions of
victims of the Great Famine - the
graves that were plowed under by the
enemy.
And so the church remains to this day
a fitting tribute to those fallen Ukrai­
nians.
In later years, prominent Ukrainian
artists completed the ornamentation of
the church: its mosaics, icons and
iconostas are the work of Petro Cho-
lodny Jr., and the woodcarving is by
Andreas Darahan.
St. Andrew's Church today is the
centerpiece of the Ukrainian Orthodox

Each year, thousands of faithful
gather on St. Thomas Sunday, or
Providna Nedilia (Sceing-Off Sunday),
to honor the dead in traditional Ukrai­
nian Easter-season memorial rites.
They come to honor the heroes and
martyrs of the Ukrainian nation who
died in their native land, as well as to
pay their respects to those national
leaders and relatives who died beyond
the boundaries of Ukraine.
This year, the St. Thomas Sunday
observances on May IS will be specifi­
cally dedicated to the 7 million victims
of the Great Famine, and religious
services will begin at 9a.m. with a divine
liturgy at St. Andrew's Memorial
Church and will continue at II a.m.
with an ecumenical pahakhyda (re­
quiem service) on the steps of the
church.
Also slated are commemorative ad­
dresses by community and Church
leaders, as well as public officials. A
memorial concert program is planned
for 3:30 p.m. at the Home of Ukrainian
Culture.
In keeping with the motto "Let us
remember —and remind others"adopt-
ed by the National Committee to Com­

Last fall, U.S. representative Carl
Gersham, speaking before the Third
Committee of the U.N. General As­
sembly, accused the Soviets of pursuing
a "conscious policy of cultural Russifi-
cation aimed at the denationalization of
the Baltic states."
For over a decade, BATUN, the
acronym for the Baltic Appeal to the
United Nations, has provided U.N.
delegations with updated information
concerning the Baltic republics. Last
month, BATUN representatives met
with delegates to the U.N. Human
Rights Commission session in Geneva.
