CHICAGO – The Ukrainian Catholic Education Foundation (UCEF) and the New York Friends of UCU Committee announced this week that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Applebaum will be the featured speaker at this year’s charity program benefiting the Ukrainian Catholic University. The event will be held online on Sunday, November 1, and is eхpected to draw hundreds of attendees from across the United States.
Ms. Applebaum has written extensively on the history of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, including her books “Iron Curtain” and “Gulag: A History,” for which she received the Pulitzer Prize in 2004. “Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine,” the first in-depth study of the Holodomor since Robert Conquest’s “Harvest of Sorrow,” has garnered attention not only in academia but also in the broader media, greatly contributing to public awareness of the Famine.
