Chicagoland Commemoration of
73rd Anniversary of Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-1933

St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral hosted an All-Faith Memorial service for the over 10,000,000 victims of the Ukrainian Genocide.

A community procession marched from the Cathedral to the Ukrainian Cultural Center for a Memorial Lunch Reception.

Illinois State Representative Paul Froehlich was honored with an award from the Ukrainian Genocide Famine Foundation - USA for his sponsorship of Illinois House Bill 312. House Bill 312 was signed into law in 2005, making the Ukrainian Genocide a part of every public school's curriculum.

Guest speakers at the luncheon were filmmaker Alexander Popovich and UGFF-USA Board Member Alexander Konowal
