The Ukrainian Holodomor at 90 – UN Day in Support of Victims of Torture

June 9, 2022 By Jason Baker

From 1932 to 1933, millions of Ukrainians perished in a devastating famine known as the Holodomor, a tragedy many argue was the result of oppressive Stalinist policies that included controlling access to crops, restricting movement out of the country for the poor, rejecting foreign aid, and actively denying the famine’s existence.

To mark the annual UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, join Deacon Eugene Logusch of St. Mary’s Assumption Ukrainian Catholic Church in St. Louis, whose parents were survivors of the Holodomor. He will share his family’s story, discuss how famine has been used as a tool of genocide, and consider the ways in which the trauma of the Holodomor has resonated for generations.

Today, we buried our friend and colleague, Victoria, who put up a tenacious fight against cancer for 13 years. She found time during that fight to work with our agency on three different occasions, most prominently in her role coordinating interpretation and translation services. Victoria, like our agency's founder, was (among many other things) an outspoken Russian-speaking Jewish refugee from the former Soviet Union, which is to say that she fit in perfectly with us. And she succeeded our agency's founder as the Missouri delegate to the national Refugee Congress, advocating for the rights and dignity of refugees in the United States. She was a joy to work with - her too-loud laugh ringing in the halls when she wasn't too busy overseeing language services for staff and clients. She leaves behind friends at the agency, who miss her and are grateful for her presence in our lives.www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/st-louis-mo/victoria-barmak-11076761 ... See MoreSee Less
