It might be a bit awkward

Oleksandr Semenovych Zelensky was born in Kryvyi Rih, Soviet Ukraine, on 23 December 1947. He is of Jewish origin. His father, Semyon (Simon) Ivanovych Zelensky, served in the Red Army's 57th Guards Motor Rifle Division. He is married to Rymma Zelenska, and is the father of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (born 1978).

Zelensky is a descendent of the perpetrators of the Holodomor.

I was just thinking of something recently. In 1933 Ukraine had a fairly large Jewish population, yet you never hear any Jews talk about relatives that died in the Holodomor. This from a group that will talk about a supposed pogrom 500 years ago like it was yesterday.

Does this mean virtually no Jews died in the Holodomor, or do they just refuse to talk about those deaths because of their role in it? Either way it's pretty damning.

Yeah probably none of them died, doesn't stop them with the Holocaust though. Lmao!
