Brussels cafe serves tree bark to commemorate Holodomor
The Ukrainian leadership academy held a sidewalk cafe in Brussels near the European Parliament. Its aim was to raise awareness about the Holodomor, Stalin’s artificial famine which took the lives of at least 4 million Ukrainians in 1932-1933.

Titled UNCOUNTED since 1932, it served visitors food which was the only nutrition for Ukrainian peasants during those years after the Soviet authorities confiscated their farm produce. Afterwards, the death tolls were classified and the Holodomor itself was not mentioned during Soviet times. The Belgians were served soup from pine cones and needles, bread from mashed grass, and pancakes from tree bark – “dishes” which Ukrainians ate in order to survive. The organizers state that their intention is to raise awareness about the tragedy in the EU and achieve the recognition of Holodomor as a genocide of Ukrainians.

#1 “Conditions are bad, but there is no famine. But – to put it brutally – you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.”

-- The New York Times, 1933

The Times won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting in the Ukraine.
