"Let's light a candle"
“Hellish numbers and words, in the heart they beat like a hammer,
as if the damned come to life, year thirty-three. Hunger… Hunger ...
In the fury of Stalin's terrible shadow of death roamed the walls,
Ukraine did not count seven million (my God).
Kramatorsk Technological College hosted several events dedicated to the Holodomor Remembrance Day: a book and information exhibition "The Holodomor: Ukraine Remembers, the World Recognizes" and educational hour "Let's light a candle". Exhibitions of photographs, archival documents, watching videos, eyewitness accounts of the Holodomor, were presented to the student audience in honor of the eternal bright memory of the victims of the terrible events in Ukraine.
KTT students learned about the tragic past of our people, about the terrible consequences of human genocide and the bitter pages of our history, which are blackened by years of mockery of our compatriots - The Holodomor. The undeclared war against humanity, genocide, has forever left its relentless imprint on our entire history, on national self-consciousness. The scale of the tragedy is difficult to assess. The Holodomor forever changed the course of the history of the Ukrainian people. It became one of the most difficult trials that befell us.
For decades, there was a cruel ban on even remembering those terrible events. But the Ukrainian people survived. It is our moral and civic duty to honor the memory of the victims of the Holodomor. Participants in the mourning event lit candles to honor the memory of those killed in the Holodomor of 1932-1933.
On November 25, when it gets dark, light it and place the candle on the windowsill so that it can be seen from the outside. This light will symbolize our grief and the memory of millions of lost lives of compatriots. Let a small candlelight will unite us in prayer for the souls of the Holodomor victims.
