#15 Café Ukraїna

“I saw a famine of enormous scale. Many people were swollen from hunger. Everywhere I heard phrases like ‘We are waiting for death.’” – wrote the British journalist Gareth Jones in 1933 after his journey to Ukraine.

What did the West know about the Holodomor? And what did it choose to know?

We will explore these questions at our Meet-up #15 on November 28 at 7:00 PM at the Polish Institute in Leipzig.

After a short introduction by our activist and historian Alexandra Kenig, we will watch Agnieszka Holland’s film “Red Secrets – In Stalin’s Crosshairs” (original title: “Mr. Jones”, Polish: “Obywatel Jones”).

As always, there will be an opportunity afterward for exchange and discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.

Admission: free.

We thank the media company PLAION PICTURES for their support in organizing the film screening.
