On Saturday, 28 November, we invite you to Ukraine House in Denmark to come together in remembrance of the victims of the Holodomor of 1932–1933.

The Holodomor, meaning “death by hunger”, was a man-made famine caused by the policies of the Soviet regime that took the lives of millions of Ukrainians. Each year, Ukrainians around the world light candles to honour those who were lost and preserve the memory of one of the darkest chapters in Ukraine’s history.

At Ukraine House, we will mark the day through remembrance, art and community.
