New York State has officially acknowledged the Holodomor, the devastating famine that occurred in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, as a genocide against the Ukrainian people. The proclamation, released on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the tragedy, emphasizes the state's commitment to remembering the victims of this horrific event.
The proclamation, issued in solidarity with Ukraine, was praised by Oksana Markarova, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States. Markarova expressed gratitude to Governor Kathy Hochul for standing in solidarity with Ukraine. She also extended her thanks to the team at the Ukrainian Consulate General in New York and the Ukrainian community for their active efforts in commemorating the victims of the Holodomor.
Markarova invited everyone to the memorial ceremony for the Holodomor victims in Washington on November 25th, to be held at the Memorial to the Victims of the Holodomor. This event aims to honor the memory of those who suffered during the tragic famine.
In Manhattan, New York, a memorial event was held to commemorate the victims of the Holodomor in Ukraine. The Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Holodomor in New York is traditionally observed on the third Saturday of November, as the following week marks the beginning of the Thanksgiving holiday season.
