Cambridge and Gareth Jones: 'Sharing His Story to the World'

In 2009, Cambridge Ukrainian Studies hosted an exhibition of the 1933 diaries of Gareth Jones, a Cambridge graduate of the MMLL Faculty who exposed the truth about the Holodomor, Stalin's murderous terror-famine in Soviet Ukraine. Jones is the subject of the 2020 film 'Mr Jones' (directed by Agnieszka Holland).

The exhibition of the diaries at Trinity College's Wren Library garnered widespread international media attention and reintroduced Jones to the world. This video is a compilation of selected media interviews about Jones with Dr Rory Finnin, Founding Director of Cambridge Ukrainian Studies. 'Gareth Jones was a remarkable figure,' Finnin said in 2009. 'We are hoping to raise his profile and share his story with the world.'

In one of the segments, Jones's nephew and our great friend, Nigel Colley, reads selections from the diaries in an excerpt from Serhii Bukovsky's documentary 'The Living', which headlined our Second Annual Cambridge Festival of Ukrainian Film.
