EVIDENCE OF THE HOLODOMOR:
In July 1932, Molotov and Kaganovich travelled to Kharkov, then the capital of Ukraine, to order the Politburo of the Ukrainian Communist party to set a quote of grain procurement of 356 million pood a year. Every member of the Ukrainian Poliburo pleaded for a reduction in the quantity of grain peasants were required to hand over to the state, but Kaganovich and Molotov "categorically refused".
Later the same month, they sent the Ukrainian party leaders a secret telegram ordering them to intensify grain production and impose harsh penalties on peasants who failed to comply. In August, Stalin and Kaganovich pushed through a decree that made theft or sabotage of state property, including the property of collective farms, punishable by death, and Kaganovich sent a telegram to the Ukrainian leaders on "the unsatisfactory pace of grain procurement.
On 13 January 2010 Kiev Appellate Court posthumously found:
Kaganovich, Postyshev, Kosior, all of whom worked under Stalin, and other Soviet Communist Party functionaries, guilty of genocide against Ukrainians during the catastrophic Holodomor famine. Though they were pronounced guilty as criminals, the case was ended immediately according to paragraph 8 of Article 6 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine. The court cited these four incidents as proof that Kaganovich was complicit in an act of genocide against the Ukrainian nation.
On a separate note, Rosa Kaganovich was referenced as Stalin’s wife in the 1940s and 1950s by Western media including The New York Times, Time and Life.
