While not my favorite source, the Wikipedia article on Stalin’s pre-planned and intentional famine in the Ukraine is actually not bad.

There are also several good books that cover the subject. What you DO NOT want to do is read contemporary New York Times articles on the subject. Their “Pulitzer prize winning “ reporter at the time was nothing but an apologist for, and supporter of, Joseph Stalin. His reporting on the Ukrainian famine is a work of fiction.

The bottom line is, most of those who “complied” as you put it got nothing for their servitude but the “choice” of starving at a slower rate than those who stood against totalitarianism.

Your false analogy with the slaughter of Jews in Nazi Germany is reprehensible and I think you should seriously reconsider positing it in the future.

Oops. Should have been “false comparison”, NOT “false analogy”
