Obituary
Peacefully on Monday, December 8th, 2014 in Toronto, Ontario at the age of 98. Beloved husband of the late Elizabeth. Loving father to Oksana and dear grandfather of two. Pawlo was a Holodomor survivor who was unafraid and one of the first to come forward to present testimony in the 1950’s to the United Nations of the famine and atrocities committed by Stalin and the Soviets against the innocent, mostly peasants, people of Ukraine. He suffered terror, threats and persecution by Soviets in Canada as a result. He was the author of many books and publications about Holodomor and the communist regime. Pawlo was a proud member of the Ukrainian Canadian Legion and the brotherhood of St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

It was a great honour to conduct an interview with the late Pawlo Hluschanyza on March 11, 2003. His valuable eyewitness accounts of the Holodomor and events during World War II are part of the Oral History Collection at the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre. These testimonies have served and will continue to serve as important archival and research materials for scholars, students and educators.
