НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Листопад 2023 15 clear alignment with state standards. The materials include les - son plans, worksheets, and a slide presentation and are available in EduPath, an online platform for Michigan educators. The units covered the historical background of Ukraine, the geography of Ukraine and population loss, and disinformation and denial. In the State of Illinois, which mandates the study of “the Fam - ine-Genocide in Ukraine,” materials developed by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas in consultation with Dr. James E. Mace, titled The Ukrain - ian Genocide Holodomor, 1932–1933: A Curriculum and Resource Guide for Educators , has been in use. In California, the framework for teaching world history in public schools was last updated in 2016, but the Holodomor as geno - cide was not included. An electronic version of a chapter titled “The Ukrainian Genocide” from the appendix to the Model Curric - ulum for Human Rights and Genocide is available on the California Department of Education website. It is a reprint of “Inhumanity: An Historical Overview,” Chapter 3 in the resource guide Human Rights: The Struggle for Freedom, Dignity and Equality , developed by the Connecticut State Department of Education in 1987. Thus, the need to revise and update sources for the study of the Holo - domor as genocide became obvious. Victor Rud, Esq., board member of the Ukrainian American Bar Association and chairman of its Committee on Foreign Affairs, has served as a consultant on the new curriculum materials project. In his presentation to the UNWLA Holodomor Awareness and Education Committee, he emphasized that propaganda and mis - conceptions have plagued efforts to present the Ukrainian histor - ical narrative purified of Soviet lies. Mr. Rud stressed the need to demonstrate to the public why the atrocities of the Holodomor are significant for American and Western foreign policy and na - tional security. Representation of the Holodomor in visual media is a second proj- ect sponsored by the UNWLA. Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak’s artworks bear witness to the Holodomor. A Ukrainian American artist from Houston, Texas, Lydia is a recipient of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award. Due to the war, her Fulbright Award was reassigned to Po - land. With the University of the Arts in Poznan as her host insti - tution, she pursued a study of socially and politically informed art created by young artists born in Ukraine now living in Poland. This month, to honor the victims of genocide, St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Los Angeles is hosting The Holodomor Geno - cide Through the Eyes of an Artist exhibition. Since the majority of Lydia’s artworks are in private and museum collections, this exhi - bition is a unique opportunity to see these artworks gathered into one presentation. The exhibition features selected works from the Fragments and Another Kind of Icon series, along with contempo - rary canvases. Dr. Victoria A. Malko, founding coordinator of Holodomor Stud - ies at California State University, Fresno, and member of UNWLA Branch 111 (Los Angeles) named in honor of Alla Horska, serves as chair of the UNWLA Holodomor Awareness and Education Com - mittee.
