On May 19, 2021, the Holodomor Descendants’ Network announced the launch of its website  (www.hdn.ukrainianworldcongress.org) and opened the registration process to all descendants of Holodomor victims globally.

The Holodomor Descendants’ Network was established by the Ukrainian World Congress on the initiative of its International Coordinating Committee for Holodomor Awareness and Recognition in November 2020. It is the first global community to unite descendants of survivors of the Holodomor (1932-1933).

The Network documents and shares the accounts of families’ experiences during the artificially imposed famine, raises awareness among Holodomor descendants of the intergenerational follow-on effects of the genocide; remembers and honors the memory of innocent victims, and defends the truth about the Holodomor in the face of disinformation. Olya Soroka, an active member of the Ukrainian community in Chicago, is Chair of the Holodomor Descendants Network.

Olya is a member of the U.S. Committee for Ukrainian Holodomor-Genocide Awareness, a member of the Board of the Ukrainian American Freedom Foundation, and is involved in many non-governmental community organizations that promote and defend Ukrai
