“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2009 22 collaborators, and their successors. Russian officials who generally favor turning the page on the crimes of the Soviet era are particularly irritated by refer- ences to the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932 – 1933. Like Holocaust deniers of an earlier era, today’s Russian leaders claim that there was hunger everywhere in the USSR during the 1930s, not only in Ukraine, and that in any case, only a couple milli on Ukrainians might have died of “malnutri - tion.” By defending Russian pride, they engage in perpetuating the Big Lie, a very old problem that existed in the Russian states of bygone years.

Early on Sunday evening of November 16, 2008, Ukrainians from Houston and surrounding areas gathered on the steps of City Hall in down- town Houston to remember the horrible events of 1932 – 1933, when millions of people in Ukraine died of starvation. The commemorative event was organized by three Ukrainian organizations in Houston, Texas — the Ukrainian American Cultural Club of Houston, the Ukrainian National Wome n’s League of America’s Branch 118, and the Pro tec- tion of the Mother of God (Pokrova) Ukrainian Catholic Church. As participants arrived at the vigil, they were greeted with solemn music. Candles were distributed to those arriving while images of the Holdomor were projected onto a screen above the City Hall plaza. On each side of the plaza, poster board displays created by Martha Noukas, president of UNWLA Branch 118, provided detailed informa- tion and illustrations showing the devastation of the famine. The Zhuravli Ukrainian Dancers, dressed in Ukrainian costume, stood on the top steps behind the podium holding church banners, while several members of the community’s youngsters held small Ukrainian flags and Holodomor placards. The program began with an introduction by Olia Holowka-Palmer, president of the Ukrainian American Cultural Club of Houston, who greeted all the guests and served as emcee for the solemn ceremony. Dr. Ewa Thompson, Rice University Professor of Slavic Studies, was the first featured speaker and set the groundwork for the evening’s event. She described life in Ukraine in the early 1930s and the political apparatus that ruled the Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
