HOLODOMOR

App unisce il mondo a un momento di silenzio per ricordare le vittime di Holodomor.

1. HOLODOMOR is a FREE reminder app that enables you to participate in observing a one minute of silence no matter where you are in the world to remember the tragic loss of lives experience by the Ukrainian people in the winter of 1933.

2. The app allows us to virtually hold hands and recommit to the idea that those who have forgotten the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.

3. The app creator, Dr. Mugunthan Murugan, a Malaysian has created the Holodomor app to reach out to the global citizenry on a historical tragedy suffered by the people of Ukraine. He had spent a good six years in Ukraine and has established a lifelong relationship with the country through his marriage to a Ukrainian. The tragedy of Holodomor had left such a lasting impression on him that he had undertaken this journey to bring the world together to observe a minute of silence on the fourth Saturday of November for any given year. The causes of the Holodomor are a subject of scholarly and political debate. Some historians theorize that the famine was an unintended consequence of the economic problems associated with radical economic changes implemented during the period of Soviet industrialization.
