Dear Mr. Williams:

Please forward this letter to people in the Ukrainian government or to those who care about our Ukraine. It is unbelievable the Government cannot find place for the Holodomor Memorial in Kyiv. Seventy two years we kept the secret of Genocide of our loved ones that perished so unjustly in 1932- 1933. Holodomor is political repression.

Our ancestors died during man-made Stalin's artificial famine. Our loved ones that perished by excruciating torture of starvation are crying in their mass graves to be recognized as decent hard working people.

I am a survivor and witness of atrocities that were committed against my people. I was 5-6 years old when my parents were sent to Siberia to die there. My sister died from starvation. My student-brother as a political prisoner was sent to Siberia with 3,000 other young students from his university. I survived by wandering in the streets - begging.

Today only today we can speak openly. We must be positive about our land. No intimidation anymore. No falsification about our History and insist from the World recognition like the Jewish Community did regarding the Holocaust. Are we still intimidated or afraid to act strongly and stand up for our Nation?

We must also collect speakers that can go places and give presentations of their associated experiences.

Respectfully
Eugenia Dallas
