On Nov. 29, 2006, the Odesa oblast branch of the National Society of Ukrainian Journalists awarded Larysa Ivshyna, The Day’s editor in chief, a diploma and medal for the book Day and Eternity of James Mace. The awards ceremony was part of the competition “Ukrainian, the Language of Unification.”
Although the Mace book was published more than a year ago, this is its first award. “This is an extremely important publication for Ukrainians because it touches everyone in one way or another,” said Yurii Rabotin, the head of the competition’s organizing committee. “When I saw it, I recognized at once that it was our candidate for the prize.”
Clearly, this book, which represents the profoundest and most versatile and humane research into the Ukrainian genocide, should be read and studied by students, scholars, and ordinary Ukrainians.
Individual works of the late James Mace are already part of the curriculum of seminars and optional courses at Zaporizhia and Kamianets- Podilsky universities. However, one cannot dispense with the state’s support. But it is not reacting.
