Libri Library Review: La Fille Du Pirate, by Henri Émile Chevalier

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Once again, thank you to Librivox.org.  And I am STILL Waiting on pins and needles, argh!, as I schedule this for Lupin Part 3 to start up again, with Omar Sy!!!

 Well, I didn’t like this book so much, which I found on the lists of Librivox.  It was ok in places, but mostly boring.  We start on a ship in the Atlantic coming from Marseille, then to a prison in Quebec, with lots of char. changes.  Might have been better for me to read rather than listen to this one.

What did the outside world in the 1930s know about the Soviet famine and the ‘Holodomor’ in Ukraine? · Global Voices

Before November this year, Ukraine and 14 other countries recognized the Holodomor as an act of genocide against Ukrainians by the totalitarian regime of Joseph Stalin. By the 90th anniversary this year, GermanyIrelandMoldovaRomaniaBrazil, the Czech Republic and the Vatican, as well as the Belarus opposition in exile also did so, raising the number to 22.

Deliberate repressive measures that targeted Ukrainians in the USSR in 1932 and 1933 included appropriating Ukrainian grain while closing off the border between Ukraine SSR and other Soviet republics, and prohibiting the transport of food to affected areas.
