Peter Goldring, MP - Speeches
House of Commons, Ottawa, Canada
Standing Order 31, April 23, 1999
UKRAINIAN FAMINE
All too frequently humanity sinks to such depravity that it wreaks death
and destruction on its own.
What motivates and drives such diabolical crimes against civilization might
only be the understanding and the purview of the insane and the Almighty.
Tens of millions have died in genocide this century alone in the Ukrainian
famine, the holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda, Armenia and now possibly
Kosovo.
Over 7 million Ukrainians perished in the famine brought on by Stalin's
Russia in the 1930s. Over 7 million starved to death under the dictate of
a man gone mad.
Tomorrow in Calgary a monument will be unveiled on Memorial Drive
to bear witness to this calamity. Civilization's failure must be put on
public
display so that we can all see the dark side of humanity and hopefully
learn.
