The Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center in Jenkintown will commemorate the 90th anniversary of Holodomor, part of the broader Soviet famine from 1930 to 1933.

During the Holodomor, an estimated 3-5 million Ukrainians died as Joseph Stalin’s Soviet regime withheld food from 1932-1933.

The event will include special presentations by Michael Sawkiw, Jr., Chairman of the U.S. Committee for Ukrainian Holodomor-Genocide Awareness, the “When We Starve” documentary describing the physical, psychologic, and spiritual suffering of people during the Holodomor, a musical performance, a poem, and a food drive.

The food drive’s most needed items are rice, pasta, oatmeal, cereal, and non-perishable items.
