 The League of Ukrainian Canadians has continuously urged the Ministry of Education in each province of Canada, including Ontario, to address the issue of Soviet crimes against humanity in Ukraine (1917 – 1991), in particular the Famine Genocide (1932 – 1933) or Holodomor, as a compulsory learning experience for each Canadian student. An education and human rights agenda in Canada that fails to address the Holodomor falls short of its goal.

On February 28, 2006, the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine passed Bill 376-V recognizing the Holodomor as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people. A week later, the Polish Parliament passed a similar resolution. It reads: "Joining in pain with the relatives of the victims of the great famine in Ukraine, which cost the lives of millions of residents of the Ukrainian countryside from 1932 to 1933, the Polish Parliament condemns the totalitarian regime responsible for the genocide." Today, almost 70 jurisdictions have recognized the Holodomor as an act of genocide, including the Parliament of Canada and the Provincial Parliaments of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and Ontario.
 
The League of Ukrainian Canadians continues to consult with the Ontario Ministry of Education to take the necessary steps in guaranteeing the compulsory inclusion of Soviet crimes against humanity in Ukraine, in particular the Famine Genocide, in every student’s history program. We are confident that your contribution will help implement the compulsory teaching of this all-important topic.

On July 23, 2007 members of the League of Ukrainian Canadians and Peggy Nash, MP for Parkdale-High Park, attended a fundraising event on Holodomor Education organized by the Genocide Education Institute in Toronto.

 

In the photograph on the left, Peggy Nash and Orest Steciw hold a book called "Century of Genocide: Critical Essays and Eyewitness Accounts", which constitutes a part of the LUC's Teacher Education Package on the Holodomor. To view the teacher package on the Holodomor, please visit www.lucorg.com.

 

Orest Steciw, Peggy Nash and Prof. Wsevolod Isajiw, President of the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre, addressed the participants at the fundraising event.




This detailed account of the Soviet collectivization and the Great Famine was a milestone in Holodomor awareness.


This extensive compilation of British documents on the Holodomor provided evidence of a genocidal attack against Ukrainians




At the height of the Genocide, Ukrainian villagers were dying at the rate of 25,000 per day, or 1,000 per hour, or 17 per minute.
