In the early 1930s, a devastating famine, known as the Holodomor, was engineered by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, leading to the death of millions in Ukraine. In recent years, the late American businessman Morgan Williams took a keen interest in this tragic event while promoting Ukrainian business interests. As president of the US-Ukraine Business Council, he traveled extensively to Ukraine, where he began to collect various pieces of artwork that reflect the suffering and history related to the Holodomor. After his passing, Williams's collection was gifted to Ukraine, providing a permanent home for these significant historical pieces. This initiative not only honors the memory of the victims of the Holodomor but also helps to preserve their story through art, contributing to cultural awareness and education about this dark chapter in Ukrainian history.
