Description

Letter sent from: Village Kupchyntsi, Koziv raion, Ternopilska oblast
Letter describes events in 1932-1933 in: Boiarka, Kyiv oblast
Current location name: Boiarka, Kyiv oblast


The letter consists of 4 pages. Pages 1-2 are transcribed, in which Khoma gives the account of a tractor driver, Trokhym Oleksiienko, who helped Khoma’s parents. (Pages 3-4 describe the ethnographic works of the correspondent, Volodymyr Khoma, is doing and are not transcribed.)

Oleksiienko's family was starving by the end of 1932-early 1933, so his mother collected all of their valuables and sent him as the eldest child to Leningrad to trade those valuables for food. He could not buy a return ticket right away and was delayed, and by the time he arrived home, his mother, sisters, and brothers were dead. Partial transcript of pp. 1-2 of the original is available.
