Civil society activists from Germany, Poland, and Ukraine have appealed to the German Ministry of Education to add the topic of the Holodomor to the school history curriculum. The initiative aims to raise public awareness of these tragic events.
This is stated in a letter published by Ukrainian media. The document was timed to commemorate the Holodomor victims.
“In 2022, the German Bundestag classified the Holodomor as genocide and called on the federal government to raise awareness in Germany and Europe about this crime through educational programs. However, almost nothing has happened since then. Only one federal state has included the topic of the Holodomor in its program – and then as a “topic of choice,” says the document, signed by about 20 figures.
In the letter, the authors emphasize the importance of this issue and emphasize that many children from Ukraine who were forced to leave because of the war are currently studying in German schools – and among them are likely descendants of those whose families suffered from the Holodomor.
The address also draws a parallel between the crimes of the Nazi regime against the Jewish people and the crimes of the Stalinist regime against Ukrainians.
The authors of the letter note that the Holocaust and the Holodomor are united not only by the similarity in the sound of the names, but above all by the scale of the tragedies, since in both cases we are talking about millions of lost lives. They emphasize that although the Shoah is rightly considered a unique phenomenon, this cannot be a reason to ignore the mass crime that occurred earlier and was at that time the greatest crime against the European people.
“Without this historical knowledge, how can young people understand where Ukrainians get such a tremendous will to resist? With this knowledge, they are much more likely to agree that Europeans should not abandon this people to their fate a second time, and that we cannot reduce our support for a country under attack,” the authors of the letter emphasized.
As a reminder, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko honored the memory of the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933, which was artificially organized by the Soviet totalitarian regime. This targeted crime affected almost every Ukrainian family.
As OBOZ.UA wrote, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy honored the memory of the victims of the famines in Ukraine. Victims of the famines and political repressions are honored in Ukraine every fourth Saturday in November.
“Without this historical knowledge, how can young people understand where Ukrainians get such a tremendous will to resist?”
Indeed, how can they know what it’s like to have hell itself as a neighbor, populated by demons and recreants? The further away you get from its borders, the less people know what dangers lurk. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland … they all think that the mafia state is just a country like any other.
It would be better for mankind and this planet to eradicate the evil entity called russia from the face of the earth.

Thanks for the update, slimpan. It’s in all the Ukrainian news. I posted an article earlier about this, but indirectly. Germany might be adding this chapter of history into their school curriculum.
OFF TOPIC: information about black soldiers have been removed as ‘heroes’ from the American Army Cemetery in the Netherlands. The cemetery is in ownership of the USA goverment. Their names and history have been erased according the American ambassador in the Netherlands.
😠😤💔
The big “N” word names the explanation for this situation in the Netherlands, and it’s not because of the word “N****”, but to Taco’s affiliation with the Nazis.
