Meet the Teachers
It’s HREC’s 10th Anniversary & we’re building our teacher community! Meet educators across Canada & the USA who teach the Holodomor.

One of the main reasons for diving deep into the topic of the Holodomor, is that we have a large Ukrainian population in Manitoba and many students have never heard of this genocide before coming into my class. It is imperative that we help students and ourselves to confront the worst in humanity, so that these events won’t happen again (despite the many ongoing genocides today). Furthermore, it is essential to help students develop the ability to think critically about historical events, their causes, and to help develop empathy and compassion among students.
