In the winter of 1932 and 1933, one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in human history occurred in what was then the province of Ukraine in the Soviet Union.
Millions of people died, yet the event was ignored in most of the western press and wasn’t even officially acknowledged by the Soviet government until the 1980s.
Today, most people in the world still aren’t aware of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.
Learn more about the Holodomor and the engineered famine that killed millions of people, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Author Bernardine Evaristo confides in the reader in new memoir, ‘Manifesto’
Author Bernardine Evaristo wrote the Booker prize winning novel Girl, Woman, Other. But before she did, like way before, she was incredibly unsure of herself or how she - as someone with a Black father and white mother - fit into her mostly white town. Even still, Evaristo always knew she had something important to say. She lays out those early struggles and how she overcame them in her new memoir, Manifesto: On Never Giving Up. Evaristo told NPR's Michel Martin that she has always been a private person but sharing so many of her secrets for the reader was very liberating.

Thousands of years ago, humans discovered a black-yellowish liquid that come out from the ground and could burn when it was set on fire.

But how does that fluid become usable fuel, and how exactly do you get it out of the rocks?
Learn more about petroleum, aka crude oil, and how it gets from the ground to your vehicle, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Author Tessa Hadley writes a juicy tale of the bourgeois in ‘Free Love’
Author Tess Hadley's new novel opens with an affair, but that's not really what the book is about. Free Love is set in the 1960s just outside of London and it starts with a wealthy woman in her 40s, Phyllis, sharing a secret kiss with a much younger man who is not her husband (gasp). The kiss has unintended consequences and Phyllis has to figure out what she really wants out of life. Hadley told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that being part of the bourgeois is not something she's familiar with, but she loves to write about it because she doesn't think that world exists anymore.

NPR's Book of the Day - We travel to Iceland with its first lady on International Women’s Day
There is an Icelandic word, sprakkar, that means outstanding women - and those women are at the heart of the book Secrets Of The Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women And How They Are Changing The World. Iceland's first lady and author, Eliza Reid, interviewed women from all walks of life to find out what makes being a woman in Iceland so great. Reid told NPR's Leila Fadel that not everyone knows Iceland has topped the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Equality Index for the past 12 years, so she set out to change that.
