17.01.2022 UKRAINE CRISIS APPEAL: SALUTE OUR LIVING HEROES Dear Members & Friends, As you may be aware our Australian-Ukrainian Community has been raising money for the care and support of our Ukrainian war heroes who have survived the turmoils of the current fight for Ukraines continued independence. These brave men and women left behind their own children and families to protect the children and the people of Ukraine. This heroism has cost them so much! Many of them now struggle to r...estart their lives and fight the internal demons that continue to haunt them. The Veteran program created with Caritas Ukraine and funded through the AFUO - Ukraine Crisis Appeal is unique and bridges the gap of specialist care and assistance that they cannot get from anywhere else. The cost of the program for one year was $125k which was raised with the generous support of Ukrainians in Australia. This program will end in August 2020 and will not be able to continue unless we can raise more funding. Even the smallest donation can make a difference to the life of a veteran. All donations made via www.ukrainecrisisappeal.org are fully Tax Deductible.

17.01.2022 We want to reopen the hall with a social night - but we can only have 62 people maximum in the hall. We also dont want to cook a lot of food that goes to waste. Assuming nothing gets worse with COVID in Brisbane, would you be likely to attend a social night here at the end of July?

16.01.2022 Nobody’s Soldier follows the extraordinary life of Andrii Antonenko. Born in Ukraine in 1922, shortly before the Communist purge of the Kulaks, he and his family were forced from their farm land and transported to a labour camp in the Arctic Circle. Andrii escaped the camp at a tender age and what ensued was a tale of extraordinary resilience and survival. Andrii bore witness to his father being arrested by the Communists and beaten mercilessly by political police, upon his ...refusal to relinquish his land. This injustice spurred Andrii into becoming adept at extricating himself from incarceration and capture by the Russians, Germans and the British on many occasions throughout his life. Andrii was conscripted to the Red Army in 1941 immediately prior to the German invasion of Russia in World War II and was wounded in battle. Following his recovery, he was forced to join the German Army where he suffered before escaping and joining the Italian Partisans. Constantly in fear and on the edge of starvation, Andrii survives freezing weather; being shot, beaten and attacked; a torpedo; and finally, tuberculosis. Hiding from covert and overt enemies was a priority as he travelled vast distances on foot. One journey taking six weeks to walk 1800 kilometres across Russia and Ukraine to be united with his family. Through luck and deception, Andrii joined the Polish Division of the British Army to escape being repatriated by the Soviets and exterminated as part of their cleansing program. It was in Britain that Andrii met his wife and in 1959, emigrated to Australia with their two sons. Nobody’s Soldier provides a glimpse into the geopolitical and social environment during one of the most poignant moments in world history, told through the lense of a strong willed, gentle man with an unquenchable love for his family and his country.

15.01.2022 MR JONES NOW AVAILABLE ON AUSTRALIAN NETFLIX You can now watch the film Mr Jones on Netflix in Australia if you have a subscription. The film loosely tells the story of Gareth Jones, a journalist from Wales, who in 1933 travels to the Soviet Union and uncovers the truth about the Holodomor. It has been well reviewed by both the public and critics alike.... Kyle Smith of National Review gave the film a favourable review: "To this day, Mr. Jones is all but unknown and his courage is unsung by his inky heirs, whereas Duranty’s Pulitzer Prize remains on the books even after a thousand other things have been canceled. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones joins the unconscionably brief list of brutally honest films about Communism." #netflix #mrjones #ozeukes #australia #ukraine

05.01.2022 ‘’ . November is Holodomor Awareness Month. SIGN THE PETITION: https://www.change.org/p/merriam-webster-dictionary-help-us... ? The Holodomor was the man-made famine-genocide perpetrated by Joseph Stalin and the Soviet-Communist regime in 1932-1933 against the Ukrainian people, which killed millions of innocent men, women and children who perished from forced starvation. ‘’ ? The Ukrainian word "Holodomor" means "death inflicted by starvation" or "extermination by hunger". ? Stalin and the Soviet-Communist regime set out to erase the Holodomor from history, by waging an international propaganda campaign to deny and cover up the truth about the regime's complicity in the Ukrainian genocide. At the height of the famine, while millions of Ukrainians starved, the USSR flooded foreign markets with grain exports and sought to prevent journalists from reporting on Ukraine's famine-struck heartland. For decades, the world was unaware of the policy contrived by the Kremlin to starve and break the Ukrainian nation. Present-day Russia continues to deny the Holodomor. But more than 17 countries, including Australia, have recognized the Holodomor as an act of genocide perpetrated against the Ukrainian people. To this day, the word "Holodomor" remains absent from major English dictionaries. But thanks to the work of thousands of journalists, historians, educators, and researchers, the word "Holodomor" has become an internationally-recognized term referring to Stalin's state-imposed genocidal famine of the Ukrainian people.
