New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Dear Nora and All,

The terror famine is treated in a very moving short story, "P"iatero  
khlibyn,"
by the contemporary writer Ievhen Pashkovs'kyi.  This story has been
  translated from Ukrainian into English, and published under the title
«Five Loaves and Two Fishes» in the anthology From Three Worlds. New
Writing from Ukraine. Edited by Ed Hogan. Boston: Zephyr Press, 1996.

For one eyewitness account, see
Miron Dolot, Execution by Hunger: The Hidden Holocaust, a survivor's  
account of the
Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine, (New York City: W.W. Norton & Company  
Inc., 1985).

Brief eyewitness accounts (including my mother's), translated into  
English, appear in:
United States, "Commission on the Ukraine Famine. Investigation of the  
Ukrainian
Famine, 1932-1933: report to Congress / Commission on the Ukraine  
Famine",
[Daniel E. Mica, Chairman; James E. Mace, Staff Director]. --
(Washington D.C.: U.S. G.P.O.: For sale by the Supt. of Docs, U.S.  
G.P.O., 1988),
(Dhipping list: 88-521-P).

Also, please note that the monumental History of Genocide, written in  
the 1950s by
the Jewish-Polish scholar Raphael Lemkin will soon be published. It  
contains a chapter
titled "Soviet Genocide in the Ukraine."

Kind regards,
Natalia
