A plaque commemorating Theodor Innitzer, Archbishop of Vienna and Cardinal of the Catholic Church, was unveiled at the Archbishop’s Palace of Vienna. Innitzer was the only foreign spiritual leader who, in 1933, established the Committee of Assistance to Ukraine, raising his voice in defense of Ukrainians who were starving to death in Stalin’s manmade famine. Based on data collected by undercover investigation and photographs, Innitzer sought to raise awareness in the West of the many deaths by hunger and even cases of cannibalism that were occurring in Ukraine and the North Caucasus.
