Execution by Hunger: The Hidden Holocaust

by Miron Dolot

Author Information: The author, Miron Dolot (a pseudonym), is a language teacher in California, who as a 15-year-old boy, lived through Stalin's forced collectivization and the genocidal famine known as Holodomor. (From the Institute for Historical Review)

Book Description: The first book-length account of this mass murder to be written by one who lived through these terrible events. The author, Miron Dolot (a pseudonym), is a language teacher in California, who as a 15-year-old boy, lived through the winter of 1932-33 in a Ukrainian village that became "a ghost town" that looked "as if the Black Death had passed through."

Recommendation: This book was recommended to me by frequent Orange Ukraine reader and commenter WRY: "Account of the terror-famine. Gripping and horrific; an inexpensive paperback on Amazon.com."

This book is an overwhelmingly gruesome, sad, but straightforward representation of the famine. I cried in many places while reading it. Why do so many organizations in North America want to associate themselves with Communists? I'll never understand...can't they see what Communism has already done?
