I just happened to walk by this and saw this memorial. It was interesting to see.
I never noticed this memorial before today as I went past this memorial few times. I noticed flowers places at this memorial. This memorial is getting attention due to Russia invasion of Ukraine as this memorial is from starving Ukrainians due USSR period.
The Holodomor Memorial is a small memorial near Union Station that honors the victims of the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932–1933. An inscription at the memorial reads “In memory of the millions of innocent victims of a man-made famine in Ukraine engineered and implemented by Stalin’s totalitarian regime.” Throughout the year, people leave flowers on the memorial to honor the victims.
An often over looked memorial to veterans near Union Station. Small black wall of memorance packing a powerful impact to the passerby.
As a Ukrainian, I had to see this. Additionally, I lost two aunts as a result of Holodomor. So, it was very personal. The NPS and the Ukrainian government did a great job designing it and my Dad(a translator) verified the translation is great. I would have liked to see a bit more about it. Maybe a map or personal stories of those who lived through it. Great to even see a memorial to Holodomor in the US!
Conspicuous location for memorial dedicated to those who perished during the artificial famine created by Josef Stalin. The US among other nations has declared it an act of genocide against Ukrainians.
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it monument to the victims of the red famine. Sobering, but the size and location (right near food trucks, bars, hotels, and Union Station) can make quiet reflection difficult (but getting lunch easy). A fascinating window on a lesser known example of genocidal cruelty.
Beautiful memorial, thoughtfully designed to commemorate the victims who perished from Stalin's manufactured genocide by starvation in Ukraine during 1932-1933. Stalin's "Holodomor" murdered millions of people, and affected many countries, but he intentionally targeted the bread-basket of Europe - Ukraine. The memorial depicts wheat - as Stalin's regime through forced collectivization confiscated all grain for export to other countries. The proceeds funded the artificial industrialization and the farse of the grand Socialist experiment -- the Soviet Empire. Highly recommend visiting to pay respects to the victims, and appreciate how much food is available to us.
