- More about Threads: Zlata’s Ukrainian Shirt
Zlata's mother stitched her a beautiful birthday blouse with red for love and black for sadness, but her parents refuse to give up their art, language, and beliefs despite the danger of the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide. Maslo's story reminds us not to forget the pain of the past and inspires hope for the future.

Zlata's stunning birthday blouse was meticulously crafted by her mother, with each thread carrying a profound meaning. According to her papa, "Red symbolizes love, while black signifies sadness." However, Mama cautions Zlata not to flaunt her attire, emphasizing the importance of keeping it hidden. The arrival of the Communists from Russia to Ukraine marked a dark period in the country's history, where the teaching of Ukrainian culture was strictly prohibited. This prohibition intensified during the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of the 1930s, as the Communists even stripped Zlata's family of their precious grain fields. Despite the imminent danger, Zlata's parents remained steadfast in their commitment to preserving their art, language, and beliefs.
As Zlata actively works to support her community in surviving the hardships, she discovers that the dream of freedom resonates deeper within the Ukrainian spirit than she could have ever imagined. Drawing inspiration from her grandparents' firsthand experience of the Famine-Genocide, Maslo weaves a poignant tale that challenges us to remember the pain of the past while also shaping the present conflict in Ukraine and fostering hope for a brighter future.
