"My father, Štefan Kányai, who spent over ten terrible years in Russian gulags in the Urals, Karaganda and Kazakhstan, often said to me: ‘There are witnesses still living who saw and remember Stalin’s genocide, a mass murder that was committed without weapons. Stalin’s regime ripped out many pages from the annals of European history and your duty is therefore to open archives in the former Soviet Union and to replace those missing pages. The memory of the victims is sacred and therefore you must act!’
I feel enormously moved that my name, together with the names of my colleagues in the PPE-DE Group and the names of colleagues from other political groups, is to be found at the head of a resolution through which we confirm that European integration is based on a readiness to come to terms with the tragic history of the 20
century. May this resolution, coming as it does in 2008, the 75
anniversary of the famine, be a mark of our fellow feeling for the people of Ukraine and especially the survivors of the famine, as well as the families and relatives of the victims.
May this resolution be a lesson for a new generation which has not experienced persecution. Freedom is precious and must not be taken for granted. Evil still exists and must be confronted."@en1
