The Holodomor was a deliberate crime.
The Soviet regime seized grain, searched homes, and swept food even from children’s bowls.
Villages were sealed off. Roads were blocked. People trying to find food were shot.
Ukraine was forced into silence — and millions died in that silence.
Today, standing by the Holodomor Memorial in Toronto, it is impossible not to see how history repeats itself.
Russia is once again trying to destroy Ukraine.
Once again destroying cities, bombing homes, killing children.
Once again trying to take away the right to life, freedom, language, culture — the very same things it tried to erase in 1932–1933.
That is why the Holodomor is not only a tragedy of the past.
It is an unbroken line of evil, which has changed its form — but not its intention.
On November 22, 2025, thousands of people gathered in Toronto to honor the victims of the Holodomor.
Representatives of the federal and provincial parliaments, the city government, clergy, and the Ukrainian community bowed their heads together before a tragedy the world must never forget.
Among the voices heard at the ceremony was Mykola Latyshko — a Holodomor survivor born in 1927 in the Kherson region.
His words continue to remind us of a truth the Soviet regime tried to erase forever.
The memory of the Holodomor lives on in Canada —
in the voices of survivors,
in the young people who carry this history forward,
in the community that refuses to let this truth fade.
We remember.
We speak.
We honor.
