Location | Campbell Conference Facility, 1 Devonshire Place, Toronto, ON, M5S 3K7

This presentation traces 90 years of transnational Holodomor memory activism, examining how survivors, communities, and activists confronted the political silencing and denial of the Famine and worked to reclaim a suppressed past. With particular attention to women’s activism, Dr. Koziura will explore how women emerged as important agents in preserving, transmitting, and publicly articulating memories of the Famine across generations and borders.
