<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>My Dearest Dido - The Holodomor Story is a haunting account of the innocent victims of Stalin's vicious regime. In the name of communism, Stalin and his armed units branded Ukrainians traitors and tortured, beat, starved, and shot them - often for the simple crime of eating stalks of grain. This heart-breaking record is based on the voices of survivors and told through the eyes of Dido Bohdan and his granddaughter Hanusia. The Holodomor, or Great Ukrainian Famine, was a five-year plan engineered by Stalin that starved millions of people. Stalin attempted to control Ukraine by destroying families, crushing communities, silencing media, and eradicating Ukrainian culture. Simply because they were Ukrainian.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This book brings an important historical story to vivid life. It's heartbreaking, touching and necessary reading. A tale that artfully bridges the gap between the generations.</p><p><em>Arthur Slade, Author of </em><strong>Crimson</strong><em> and </em><strong>Megiddo's Shadow</strong></p><p>No Holodomor or genocide should ever happen; it is inhumanity to humanity by humanity. We cannot undo the Holodomor perpetrated against Ukrainians and other peoples of the former Soviet Union. However, we must not allow this terrible event to remain forgotten. Marion's book allows a younger generation of children to be informed about this horrific happening not just as a statistical or historical fact but an event that hurt people and destroyed families. This book explains the Holodomor in a language and context that children can relate to. May this book serve to educate and sensitize the next generation to strive for peace and dignity among all people.</p><p><em>Dr. Bill Gulka, Professor, University of Saskatchewan</em></p><br>
