Ukrainian Famine Research Paper

The early 1930s represent some of the darkest years in Ukrainian history and was highlighted by a famine, that from 1932-1933, claimed the lives of up to six million Ukrainians. While it is counterproductive to declare that the sheer scale of devastation of the famine is greater than other massive twentieth century losses of human life, it is nonetheless strange why it is not as pervasive in the collective memory of humans as the Holocaust or Rwandan genocide is. Part of this is due to the fact that for the longest time the international community did not officially recognize that a famine had ever occurred. However, the question of causation is at the heart of this issue because there is no consensus on whom or what actually caused the famine.
