FOR THE RECORD: Invitation from Ukraine's Mission to the U.N.

Following is the text of a November 6 letter from Ukraine's Mission to the United Nations addressed to members of the Ukrainian community.

Dear Friends:

On the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the 1932-1933 Great Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations will hold a special commemorative event on November 21 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The commemoration will take place in the Dag Hammarskjold Library Auditorium of the United Nations Secretariat and will feature presentations by Taras Hunczak, professor emeritus of history and political science at Rutgers University, and Mark L. von Hagen, professor and chair of the department of history at Columbia University. The official part is to be followed by screening of the documentary "Harvest of Despair."

We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues and friends at this important commemoration, which is aimed at unveiling the truth about the Holodomor to the world community for the purpose of ensuring wider international recognition of this tragedy of the Ukrainian nation.

Those wishing to attend should notify the Mission of Ukraine thereof via fax, 212-355-9455, or e-mail, vpohribnyi@yahoo.com, if possible, by November 17 so that necessary arrangements for U.N. ground passes could be made on time.

The ground passes will be available for pick-up on November 21 beginning from 2 p.m. at the Visitors' Entrance to the U.N. Headquarters (First Avenue between 45th and 46th streets).

Respectfully yours,

Viktor Kryzhanivskyi
Chargé d'Affaires a.i.
