In 1932-33, Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe had a bountiful crop of grain yet its people were dying of starvation. In order to crush the will of the independent-minded Ukrainian peasants and secure collectivization of all Ukrainian lands, Joseph Stalin ordered an army of ruthless, well-fed Communist Party activists to confiscate all harvested grain and seize all the food in the towns and villages.
As a result of this genocidal decree, by the end of 1933 nearly 25 percent of the Ukrainian population between 7-10 million people, including 3 million children had perished! In the face of terror, Ukrainians had little possibility of escaping their horrific fate to create another life elsewhere. Travel was banned for Ukrainians keeping them confined in a prison of starvation within their own villages. To this day the Russian government still denies this genocide ever occurred, perpetuating “the biggest lie, the best kept secret.”
