•In his 1945 Proposed Preface to Animal Farm Orwell wrote:
•“…it was
considered equally proper to publicise famines when they happened in India and to
conceal them when
they happened in the Ukraine. And if this was true before the war, the intellectual
atmosphere is certainly no better now.”

•Though readers of
Orwell, including biographer David Taylor, believe this hypothesis relating to Gareth to be
‘plausible enough’, and
that Orwell could not have written on the Holodomor with out knowledge of Gareth, it is almost ‘Orwellian’ in itself, that Orwell
archives & papers contain
no mention whatsoever of Gareth Jones!
