The world has ended before.

Just look up the word Holodomor, an engineered famine that killed anywhere from 4 to 10 million people in Ukraine during a single winter. The word means mass murder by starvation. Ukraine officially considers it genocide, as do a handful of other countries. Here’s what happened: Under Stalin, The Soviet Union forced the country to over-harvest in order to meet staggering grain quotas, which led to famine. In other words, they stole another country’s crops. Then they stormed into homes and confiscated food. Left with nothing, people turned to cannibalism.

We’re not just talking about a few cases. Thousands of ordinary, educated, innocent people killed and ate each other. Parents had to decide if they were going to become meat for their children.

It makes you sick to read about.

Imagine living it.

We let history repeat itself.

There’s a few reasons why a lot of people don’t know about the Holodomor. The Soviet Union banned discussion of it. They also hid as much of the true story as they could. There’s another reason…

It’s a harsh lesson in humanity.
