Hanna Roshchenko is a WWII veteran and a pensioner, and the sole Famine survivor in her family. She was 14 at the time. Her mother and her two brothers died of starvation in May 1933. Her father had died earlier. Her family joined the collective farm and worked hard, all of them. All labor was manual. They were paid only in kind and very little.
In the winter of 1932-33, her mother sent her away to Kherson, as there was not enough food for the family. The grain which they were supposed to be given as payment for workdays at the collective farm was withheld. Her mother and brothers only received a ration of 100 gm of fodder grains. They did not survive and Roshchenko does not even know where they were buried. - Notes
