The Ukrainian community in Canada and around the world marked the 92nd anniversary of the Holodomor, a devastating famine that claimed millions of Ukrainian lives in 1932-1933. This solemn occasion honors the victims and raises awareness about this tragic chapter in history. Recent facts highlight the Holodomor’s lasting impact: it was recognized as genocide by over 16 countries, including Canada and the United States, in recent years; the Ukrainian government officially designated November 26 as Holodomor Remembrance Day; global efforts have increased to educate younger generations about the famine’s causes and consequences; and recent scholarly research emphasizes the role of Soviet policies in exacerbating the famine. Additionally, the Holodomor’s legacy influences current Ukrainian national identity and international relations, especially amid ongoing tensions with Russia. The Ukrainian diaspora continues to organize memorial events, educational programs, and cultural activities to honor victims and promote awareness. As of 2025, the Holodomor remains a powerful symbol of resilience and the importance of historical memory, inspiring ongoing advocacy for human rights and recognition of genocides worldwide. This commemoration underscores the importance of historical awareness in fostering global solidarity and preventing future atrocities.
