Holodomor: Witnesses. The Great Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933

Five years after the international symposium The Great Famine - Holodomor: Knowledge and recognition, the Centre de recherche Europes-Eurasie (CREE) and the Ukrainian section of Inalco (department Europe) are organizing a new colloquium entitled Holodomor: Witnesses. The Great Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933 devoted to witnesses.

Friday, November 9, 2018 from 09:30 to 20:00 in the Inalco auditorium

Holodomor: Witnesses. The Great Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933

Witnesses in every sense of the word: institutional witnesses, enforcers, travelers, journalists, diplomats, survivors; all those who spoke at the time, all those who did so later, those who kept silent but also those who denied.

Beyond studying their motivations and deep-seated reasons, we'll look at the consequences of their choices. But also on the question of how the progressive discovery of these testimonies, sometimes more than half a century later, has altered our knowledge of the Great Famine.

Finally, literary or cinematic testimonies, whether from the pen of direct witnesses or works of fiction, will complete the picture.
