1932 Polish newspaper "New Chas": Famine in Western Ukraine is intensifying.
"In the Hutsul region, the number of starving households reached 88.6%... In March, about 40 villages in Kosivsky, 12 villages in Nadvirnyansky and 10 in Kolomiysky counties were completely starving... People are swollen with hunger and die on the go. Hunger is especially fierce in the villages - Perekhresnyakh, Old Gvizdtsy, Ostrovitsy. Together with the famine, typhoid fever and tuberculosis quickly spread.
1932 American newspaper "Украiнськi щоденнi вiстi". From the article
"Starvation reigns in the villages of the Hutsul region":
“More and more details about the famine that engulfed dozens of villages in the mountainous part of Western Ukraine - the Hutsul region are becoming clear. Whole families are lying in rural houses, who are swollen from hunger. Crowds of frozen, hungry Hutsuls go from village to village, who ask for bread and potatoes. From spotted typhus, young people and old people die ... "
1932 American newspaper "Украiнськi щоденнi вiстi". From the article
"15 thousand children in Transcarpathia are threatened with starvation":
“Two days ago, opposition deputies in the Czech parliament declared that starvation threatened 15,000 children in Transcarpathian Ukraine, and the reports of British and German journalists who recently visited this province of Czechoslovakia confirm the fact that the entire population there lives in a state of incredible poverty and incredible starvation."
1932 interview of a resident of Transcarpathia Ivan Kurtyak with a New York Times correspondent:
"Journalists have not described a hundredth part of that poverty and misfortune. There are many villages in the mountain districts where all the food for children is a small amount of oatmeal bread and half-rotten potatoes. In fact, pigs are fed better in the manor yards than those small creatures. In entire districts since autumn "People have not seen a piece of bread. As a result of malnutrition, tuberculosis has spread in frightening proportions ... In most villages at night you will not see the light. Trains pass through a sad and dead country, like a cemetery."
