My Kean University colleague, George Kolodiy, suggested I contact you
about a graduate course we are offering in Spring 2007.  The course falls
under our new Masters in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

MAHG 5016:  The Ukrainian Famine-Genocide, 1932-1933
This course examines the famine-genocide of 7 million Ukrainians under
Stalin, 1932-1933.  It explores the physical, psychological, economic, and
environmental effects of the genocide, international response, and the
challenges of recovery.

George thought that you might know some students at Rutgers who may be
interested in taking the course, which is open to non-matriculated
students.  The course will be offered on Mondays from 7:50 p.m. to 10:30
p.m.

I would be happy to tell you more about the course if you have any
questions.  I designed the course for MAHG and will be teaching it.  My
interest is both academic and personal, since my mother and grandmother
were survivors of the famine-genocide while my grandfather succumbed to
the starvation.

By the way, I earned a double-major BA in Russian and in English at
Rutgers Newark.  I studied with Myroslava Znayenko many years ago!  At
that time, we also had Ukrainian courses with Dr. Eugene Fedorenko. 
Wonderful memories!

All the best,
Ruth Piatnochka Griffith
