Holodomors' Victims Commemoration Day

In the XXth century Ukrainian nation suffered three holodomors - huge famines that was artificially made by Soviet state power in 1921-1923, 1932-1933 and 1946-1947 on the different territories of present Ukrainian state. For sure, it's terrible condition to live 24 hours per day with constant murderous claim to eat something, it's horrible to see hungry deaths of parents and babies, neighbours and fellows, to know about the existence of the food in the country, but...not for Ukrainians. Perhaps, it's impossible to learn all emotions of people, who were perishing from holodomor. So we can only remember the millions of Ukrainians who became the victims of three holodomors in the last century, to read the memories of their alive relatives and holodomors' witnesses, to watch documentary films about these tragedies in former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and just to light a candle every year on the last Saturday of November.
