Holodomor

One of the lesser-known historical crimes that wiped out millions of people was Holodomor (loosely translated from Ukrainian as "e;death by hunger"e;), the famine and genocide that occurred during Soviet rule between 1932 and 1933. This book relates the shocking story of how a natural disaster was weaponized by the Soviet Union under the rule of Joseph Stalin to punish a whole people. Evocative photographs with compelling background and analysis give readers the story of a tragic chapter of European history in the twentieth century, while tying the event to our all-too-relevant modern context.
