"I couldn’t help sharing the pain…" in The Day (February 22, 2011) http://www.day.kiev.ua/en/article/society/i-couldnt-help-sharing-pain

“For Stalin to have complete centralized power in his hands, he found it necessary to physically destroy the second largest Soviet republic, meaning the annihilation of the Ukrainian peasantry, Ukrainian intelligentsia, Ukrainian language, and history as understood by the people; to do away with Ukraine and things Ukrainian as such.

James Mace

Speech at the International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide in Tel Aviv (1982).
