In this simulation, students play as a Ukrainian family trying to survive the terrible famine of the early 1930s known as the Holodomor. Through this game, students will learn about how Soviet policy led to mass starvation in an area of the world known for its ability to produce large amounts of food and how this impacted individual families.
