Holodomor Memorial

An easily glossed over story in recent history that most Americans have not had the privilege of learning about. A man made famine that killed millions in Soviet Ukraine as the result of Soviet policies. Stop by this memorial if you are walking near to Washington Union Station.

This memorial explicitly and correctly identifies famine as a weapon of genocide. Behind it, there is an Irish pub. That the Irish also experienced a devastating and fully preventable famine was a coincidence not lost on me.

Beautiful memorial, thoughtfully designed to commemorate the victims who perished from Stalin's manufactured genocide by starvation in Ukraine during 1932-1933. Stalin's "Holodomor" murdered millions of people, and affected many countries, but he intentionally targeted the bread-basket of Europe - Ukraine. The memorial depicts wheat - as Stalin's regime through forced collectivization confiscated all grain for export to other countries. The proceeds funded the artificial industrialization and the farse of the grand Socialist experiment -- the Soviet Empire. Highly recommend visiting to pay respects to the victims, and appreciate how much food is available to us.

A blink-and-you'll-miss-it monument to the victims of the red famine. Sobering, but the size and location (right near food trucks, bars, hotels, and Union Station) can make quiet reflection difficult (but getting lunch easy). A fascinating window on a lesser known example of genocidal cruelty.

I just happened to walk by this and saw this memorial. It was interesting to see.

I never noticed this memorial before today as I went past this memorial few times. I noticed flowers places at this memorial. This memorial is getting attention due to Russia invasion of Ukraine as this memorial is from starving Ukrainians due USSR period.

Conspicuous location for memorial dedicated to those who perished during the artificial famine created by Josef Stalin. The US among other nations has declared it an act of genocide against Ukrainians.

An often over looked memorial to veterans near Union Station. Small black wall of memorance packing a powerful impact to the passerby.

Beautiful park scenic views of the capital union station and some of the tastiest food trucks in the city

They should all be like this, a must for anyone visiting D.C., to reflect and remember what man is capable of.

Subtle memorial that provides a peaceful enclave in an otherwise busy area.
