XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 193 Holodomor witness Mendel Osherowitch “How People Live in Soviet Russia: Impressions from a Journey” that Prof. Luciuk edited, and the newly released book “Operation Payback” authored by Prof. Luciuk that details Soviet disinformation about relations between Ukrainians and Jews. An event in 2022 addressed the topic “History, Trajectory and War Update” in a discussion that drew parallels between russia’s current war against Ukraine and the 1932-1933 Holodomor-Genocide. The panel of distinguished speakers included Professor Emeritus Roman Serbyn from the University of Quebec at Montreal; Professor Victoria Malko, Founding Coordinator, Holodomor Studies Program at California State University, Fresno; Andrew Stuttaford, an editor with National Review, and Olena Muradyan, Dean, Faculty of Sociology, V.N. Karazin-Kharkiv National University. In 2023, members of our Branch, in collaboration with the New Jersey Regional Council and the Ukrainian Students Club at Rutgers University, led three events intended to engage students and the general public. These events included a Holodomor exhibit at the Douglass Library of Rutgers University, a screening on campus of the movie “Mr. Jones” and a presentation at the university by attorney Victor Rud titled “Moscow’s Starvation of Ukraine (1932-1933) – Why, How, and So What?” In another community program, our Branch invited Prof. Muradyan to speak on the impact of russia’s war on daily life in Ukraine and, in particular, the impact on university students in Kharkiv. Several articles were submitted to Our Life and The Ukrainian Weekly to highlight these efforts. An event at the Welsh Parliament (Cardiff, Wales) in 2022 honored Welsh journalist Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones for his reporting about the Holodomor and celebrated the completion of the digitization of his diaries. The UNWLA was the primary sponsor of the digitization project; the Jones diaries are now accessible to the public online. As the UNWLA liaison for the digitization project, a member of our Branch, Oksana Lodziuk Krywulych, traveled to Wales to deliver a speech before the Welsh Parliament regarding our organization’s key role in preserving the memory of the Holodomor. The large audience included First Prime Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford, members of the Welsh Parliament and several relatives of Gareth Jones. Branch 75 continues to sponsor students via the UNWLA Scholarship Program. Our Branch contacted a local library to increase the number of books available in Ukrainian and English regarding the Holodomor, as well as the Chornobyl disaster, and continue to purchase materials for the Ukrainian Montessori preschool led by one of our members. CULTIVATE With Dr. Natalka Pavlovsky as the instructor, our Branch organized a well-attended “Paint, Learn and Sip” event that focused on the art of Maria Prymachenko. We initiated a new community event, a social gathering on the occasion of the international Vyshyvanky that we plan to continue annually. We presented two literary-musical evenings featuring the works of Lesia Ukrainka, Myroslav Skoryk and Lina Kostenko. Our Branch also hosted the Women’s Bandura Ensemble of North America that held a major rehearsal at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey (UACCNJ). In addition, each year our Branch raises funds for UNWLA projects by organizing groups of Christmas carolers. In summer 2023, we held a pottery workshop for our members with Ivan Bratko at the Bratko Art Studio. CARE Branch 75 supported many UNWLA national projects and donated approximately $35,000 to these efforts during the past three years. We contributed to the Oxygen for Life project, to the Pediatric Burn Mission, Keep Ukraine Warm – Zemliachky project. We provided general humanitarian aid and contributions to a fund for wartime needs such as medical supplies, equipment, and medicine.
