DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening “Holodomor Remembrance Month”\n\n \n\nWh
 at is the Holodomor?\nIn the early 1930s\, in what was known as Europe’s
  breadbasket\, Stalin and the USSR committed genocide in Ukraine. An ancie
 nt farming nation was subjected to starvation\, a horrific and torturous d
 eath. The Soviet authorities imposed exorbitant quotas for the amount of g
 rain that the peasant farmers had to give over to the state. These quotas 
 were impossible to meet. Brigades went house to house in the Ukrainian cou
 ntryside\, searching for hidden grain down to the last seed. They often se
 ized any food they found\, leaving families with nothing. Stalin ordered t
 he sealing of the borders of Soviet Ukraine so that the population could n
 ot go in search of food where it was more readily available. At the same t
 ime\, the Kremlin launched a campaign of repressions against Ukrainian cul
 tural\, religious\, and political leaders.\nThe result was the famine geno
 cide of 1932-1933\, known in Ukrainian as the HOLODOMOR.
