The Holodomor Memorial in Washington, DC is a powerful testament to the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-33, where an estimated 28,000 people per day lost their lives due to intentional starvation by the Soviet Union. Located in the heart of the nation's capital, this Larysa Kurylas-designed monument serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of Stalin's regime and the importance of raising awareness about this tragic chapter in history.
