A ears sheaf and alight candle in the icon lamp during funeral service on the victims of Famine 1932-33 in Ternopol, on Saturday, November 22, 2008. The Holodomor was an artificial famine in the Ukrainian SSR, a part of the Soviet famine of 1932-1933. During the famine, millions of Ukrainians died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine. Estimates of the total number of victims within Soviet Ukraine range from 2.2 million to 10 million, the latter figure includes unborn children, estimated at more than 6 million.
