My sincerest condolences to all of Maria's family. She was a very dear sweet person whom I interviewed for the Holodomor survivors website and film. She was sensitive and kind even though she had lived through terrible times. We met at other events over the years and I felt a lovely bond with her .

I remember Maria Firman's interview about surviving the Holodomor and losing her mother, father and younger sister. What trauma she lived through. I am so glad that she had a long life in safety and comfort here in Canada and that she was loved by children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. Vichnaya Pamjat'. I work for the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium, and can tell you that it is the stories of people like Maria Firman's that ensure that the Holodomor and its victims will never be forgotten.
