“The Holodomor of 1932-1933, the famines of 1921-1923 and 1946-1947, the Great Terror, deportations, political arrests and assassinations… Millions of citizens fell victim to these abominable experiments.
However, we’re still missing many names. So many families don’t know the history of their ancestors because these pages have been suppressed, literally torn out of their lives. The purpose of the newly created Center is to support people who want to know the truth about their relatives and their country.”
