Famine memorials are structures or monuments dedicated to commemorating the victims of famines throughout history. These memorials serve as a reminder of the suffering caused by food shortages and the impact of social, political, and environmental factors on communities. They often aim to raise awareness about the importance of food security and the need for humanitarian efforts. Many famine memorials are located in areas significantly affected by historical famines, such as the Great Famine in Ireland or the Holodomor in Ukraine. These sites often include inscriptions, sculptures, or plaques that honor those who lost their lives and encourage reflection on the lessons learned from these tragic events.
