The Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC) is pleased to announce that this year’s Toronto Annual Ukrainian Famine Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Henry H. Prown.
In his lecture "How to Hide a Famine: Holodomor as History and Heuristic," Dr. Prown will look at the dynamics of this Stalinist crime in the context of mass media manipulation in the Depression era. His lecture will shed light on how the Holodomor served as a precursor to further instances of genocidal state violence and denialist propaganda.
Dr. Henry Prown is the 2022-25 Temerty Postdoctoral Fellow in Holodomor Studies (CIUS/ University of Alberta). His book Communist Propaganda in Pre-Cold War America: The Daily Worker and the Great Depression will be published by Bloomsbury.
