DANIELA SIMUNAC London Free Press - 24 May 2008 http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2008/05/24/5656216-sun.html More than 150 representatives from the local Ukrainian community gathered yesterday inside city hall's council chambers to light a torch that paid tribute to those who died in their native country 75 years ago. The torch was passed to Canadian-Ukrainian children from survivors of Ukraine's Holodomor genocide. Holodomor means extermination or death by famine. It wiped away about one-quarter of Ukraine's population during Josef Stalin's communist regime. "The people who died can't speak for themselves, so we must speak, those who are left," said Mike Fediw, 81, who survived Holodomor and lives in London. The torch will pass through 33 nations before it returns to Kiev, Ukraine, next fall.
