OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. LX DECEMBER 2003 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT W armest wishes to all UNWLA members and readers of Our Life. May your Christmas celebrations be blessed with love, peace, and joy. May the New Year bring you health, happiness, and hope. We begin this month's issue with a letter that was sent to the Pulitzer Prize Committee on December 2, 2003, in response to the Committee's decision not to revoke a Pulitzer Prize awarded to a an individual who de serves condemnation rather than recognition. This issue of Our Life continues on a happier note as we honor the achievements of UNWLA members and branches, spice up our winter wardrobe, and reflect on ways to deal with the stresses of a hectic lifestyle. Happy reading! LETTER TO THE PULITZER PRIZE C O M M ITTEE The Ukrainian National Women's League of America was founded in New York City in 1925. It is the oldest and largest women's organization in the United States, an organization that comprises thousands of women who are proud to be Americans and also proud of their Ukrainian heritage. Seventy years ago, members of our organization worked tirelessly to assist the victims of one of the worst genocides perpetrated during the twentieth century. They also worked tirelessly to inform the world of the multi farious evil of a Soviet regime intent on the destruction of Ukrainians through starvation. Their efforts were aided by courageous and honorable journalists like Malcolm Muggeridge and Gareth Jones; they were impeded by cow ards like Walter Duranty who conspired with Soviet authorities to hide the truth from the world. Today, members of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America are appalled at the decision of the Pulitzer Prize Committee not to revoke the Pulitzer Prize awarded to Mr. Duranty. We believe it is our obliga tion to express our anger and disappointment at this decision and to appeal to the Committee to reconsider a deci sion we view as an egregious error in judgment. Recently opened archives in Moscow and Kyiv give ample evidence of the Great Famine in Ukraine, as well as ample evidence of Mr. Duranty's lack of journalistic integrity. These archives show that more than seven million, and possibly as many as ten million, Ukrainians died during the famine, which was artificially engineered by Soviet authorities. These archives also show that Mr. Duranty's reports to The New York Times about conditions in Ukraine were deliberately and callously misleading. The genocide of 1932-33 was so well engineered that Soviet authorities ordered that dogs and other household pets be slaughtered so that after all grain and livestock had been confiscated, the people would have “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2003 7
