CHICAGO – In keeping with its mission, the Ukrainian Genocide Famine Foundation-USA Inc. (UGFF) annually commemorates the victims of the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-1933 with a memorial panakhyda and “holodnyi obid” (literally, hungry luncheon).
Nicholas Kocherha, president of the foundation, reaches out to one of the many Ukrainian churches in the Chicagoland area to co-host the commemoration. On Sunday, September 15, the UGFF, in cooperation with St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Chicago, co-hosted the 2019 commemoration in memory of 10 million victims of the genocidal Holodomor.
