This book "is a pioneer of its kind in Portuguese language and context, bringing to the audience touching pages of history that many would want to erase, and still today, after eighty years, lead to controversial readings. The case of the Great Famine in the Soviet Union, known as Holodomor (meaning "death by hunger") belongs to the most extensive and heinous massacres known by the twentieth century, and it’s still unknown by many. It is an artificially induced famine during the years 1932 and 1933 by the Stalinist regime to the peoples of the Soviet Union as a result of the failure of forced collectivization. The Great Famine affected mainly the countries with large and fertile agricultural land, among which the Ukrainian case stands out, whose country, geographically, is the second largest in Europe and where it is estimated that the number of famine victims reached a dozen million".
