Holomodor Genocide Remembered: Ukranians, Jews, Armenians, Rwandans Remember

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) joins with Ukrainians in Canada and around the world to commemorate Holodomor Remembrance Day and remember the millions of victims murdered during the Terror Famine. Between 1932-1933, the forced starvation of the inhabitants of Ukraine, known as the Holodomor, resulted in the mass murder of millions of men, women, and children.

Two years ago, CIJA joined with the Armenian National Committee of Canada, Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and the Humura Society of Rwanda to support the passing of motion M-587 in the House of Commons, which recognizes April as Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation, and Prevention Month. Together, we reconfirmed our solemn responsibility to remembrance and reaffirmed the promise of “Never Again.” Only by acknowledging, understanding and condemning these atrocities — past and present — can we prevent future generations from repeating the same catastrophic acts.
