The guest editorial below is adapted from remarks by Andriy Futey, president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, at the Holodomor commemoration held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York on Saturday, November 16.
For over 35 years, the Ukrainian American community and our many friends have gathered here, within the sacred walls of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, to pray for and honor the memory of the millions of innocent victims lost in one of the worst tragedies that befell the Ukrainian nation – the Holodomor Genocide of 1932-1933.
