COLLECTION OF WORKS BY AMERICAN RESEARCHER OF HOLODOMOR
JAMES MACE PUBLISHED IN UKRAINE. Ukrinform, Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, November 21, 2008
KYIV - A collection of works by well-known American researcher of the Holodomor 1932-1933 James Mace “Your Dead Have Chosen Me…” has been published in Ukraine. The book presentation took place within the frames of the events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor.
The name to this book was taken from one of the most emotional articles by the historian and journalist who was the first among western researchers to seriously prove and publicly state that the Holodomor 1932-1933 was an act of genocide of the Ukrainian people.
A collection of Mace’s little known works have been gathered for the first time, where the reasons and trends have been analyzed that brought to this tragedy. Articles “Political Reasons of Holodomor in Ukraine (1932-1933), “Ukraine as Post-Genocide State”, “Wild Spirit of Shot down Renaissance”, “Great Experiment (about History of National Communism in Ukraine)” and others reveal political reasons of the Holodomor.
James Mace is a historian, political scientist and researcher of the Holodomor in Ukraine. In 1982, he stated at the international conference that the Holodomor has been organized by Stalin to exterminate the Ukrainians as a nation and Ukraine as a state and consequently is genocide of the Ukrainian people.
In 1986-1987, Mace headed a commission of researchers under the U.S. Congress that studied archive documents and collected testimonies of the people about the Holodomor. In 1993, Mace moved from the USA to Ukraine, lived and worked in Kyiv, lectured at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, married the Ukrainian. He died on May 3, 2004, and was buried in Kyiv.
Yes, James Mace was certainly a gifted individual in terms of knowing his history as well as writting about it. Since he passed away, he has truely been missed by everyone who was touched by his works.
