       | Even typing Holodomor on iOS indicates that the word is missing
       | from the spell checker. It's shameful.

         | I agree, but just want to highlight that Holocaust =/=
         | Holodomor, these were two unrelated genocides.

           | Wrong. Holocaust is a generic term for mass scale killing or

           | The Jewish holocaust of WW2 by Nazi Germany does not hold a
           | monopoly on holocausts, especially not holocausts such as the
           | Holodomer, 10 years prior perpetrated in part by Jews
           | themselves.

       | This guy basically fooled his ways of agriculture and biology,

       | more deaths.
