Ukrainian Holocaust
|
|
Ukrainian Holocaust is a controversial term used by some (mostly Ukrainian) historians to refer to the Holodomor, a 1932–33 famine and a major national catastrophe in Ukraine. Other historians tend to criticize Ukrainian communities for what they view as an attempt to appropriate the larger-scale tragedy of Collectivization in the USSR as their own national terror-famine, thus exploiting it for political purposes. The usage of the term Ukrainian Holocaust, which particularly associates the Holocaust with other historical events, is often seen as controversial.
The term Ukrainian Holocaust also refers to events of the Holocaust occurring in Ukraine.
