History of the Holodomor of 1932-33
In December 1932, a decree of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party reported mass malnutrition and deaths from starvation was happening in Ukraine.
Between 1932-1933, history records the Soviets engineered a Ukrainian famine, also called the Holodomor, that killed millions of people called the Holodomor. What is the Holodomor?
Holodomor literally translated from Ukrainian means “death by hunger”, “killing by hunger, killing by starvation”, or sometimes “murder by hunger or starvation”, had killed millions of Ukrainians.
The first reports of mass malnutrition and deaths from starvation emerged from two urban areas of the city of Uman. An unusual number of famine deaths were reported in January 1933 by people in Vinnytsia and Kyiv oblasts (Administrative Divisions).
By mid-January 1933, there were reports about mass “difficulties” with food in urban areas, which had been under-supplied through the government rationing system, and the death toll from starvation among people in Ukraine were rising.
By mid-March, most of the reports of starvation originated from Kyiv Oblast. By mid-April 1933, Kharkov Oblast reached the top of the most affected by the Holodomor.
While Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Vinnytsia, and Donetsk oblasts, and Moldavian SSR were next on the list, death from starvation kept increasing nationwide.
Reports about mass deaths from starvation, dated mid-May through the beginning of June 1933, originated from areas in Kiev and Kharkov oblasts.
The history of Holodomor confirmed
Viktor Yushchenko, who was the third president of Ukraine from 23 January 2005 to 25 February 2010, and other Ukrainian politicians described fatalities in the region of totaling seven to ten million.
Yushchenko stated in a speech to the United States Congress that the Holodomor “took away 20 million lives of Ukrainians,”. Other historic reports seem to confirm those numbers.
Anniversary of the Holodomor celebrated
On November 24, 2018, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) marked a somber occasion, the 85th anniversary of Holodomor, when the brutal Soviet regime engineered and executed a catastrophic manmade famine and starved to death millions of innocent Ukrainians.
On November 24, 2022, Ukrainians and people all over the world marked the fourth Saturday of November as the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued an historic proclamation that marked November 2022 as Ukrainian Genocide Remembrance Month.
This proclamation was issued on the eve of the 90th anniversary of the 1932-33 genocidal famine in Ukraine, now known as the Holodomor (meaning ‘death by starvation’ in Ukrainian), which is remembered on the fourth Saturday of November each year.

Death of Bonnie and Clyde in 1934

Bonnie and Clyde, the leader of the Barrow Gang, were an American criminal couple who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. The couple were known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes.
By May 1934, Barrow had 16 warrants against him for various crimes. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.
