Ep15. 'Was NKVD involved in the murder?' - Gareth Jones - Eyewitness To The Holodomor Part 2
in August 1935 Gareth Jones was kidnapped by bandits in China and shot. One of the many mysteries surrounding Jones’s death was the fact that the vehicle he was kidnapped from belonged to persons associated the NKVD (the secret police organization that followed OGPU). Gareth Jones, the most reliable eyewitness to the Holodomor of 1932-1933, was eliminated and effectively silenced. His articles, like the famine itself, languishing in obscurity for more than seventy years.
When his diaries where finally found at an aunts house in 2006 and exhibited at Cambridge in 2009, he and his reporting became a sensation. These diaries represent probably the only independent Western verification of arguably Stalin's greatest atrocity.
Continue listening to Professor Ray Gamache's own words on his extraordinary book 'Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor' and Josef Stalin's rather unknown monstrous crime against humanity.
