I try to imagine the enormity of this famine and cannot.You can google and find the writing of Gareth Jones.He did tell the story.Stalin's 5 year plan of agrarian reform caused the starvation .
Communism is an evil that young people don't recognize.It appeals to their idealism.The evils are tied to a leader,Stalin,Castro,Mao,Pol Pot,Kim.It is not just the leader..it is the Communism.

As a former communist I can say that it is an ideology predicated on murder.
It is based on class anger, avarice and jealousy. Combine the three emotions, give it philosophical basis and a gun and you get events such as the Ukranian slaughter.
I could go on, but this is at the core of this ideology.
