The Painful Memory of Moldova – The Book of Famine by Larisa Turea

The book authored by Larisa Turea talks about one of the most brutally dark pages of the history of Moldova, the 1946-1947 famine. The result of a decadeslong thoughtful research, the book brings together shattering testimonies of this tragic event, alongside insightful translations of official documents and touching photographs that shape an irrefutable truth: hundreds of thousands of people perished not because of natural conditions, not even as accidental victims of an irresponsible policy, but because of a man-made famine engineered by the Soviet government.
