Being only a second Generation American of Irish heritage I heard plenty of stories from great grandparents and grandparents passed down of the famine, I remember somewhere hearing my Great Grandmother saying something about eating grass or being given soup made from grass as a child, all this while exports were booming ! I don't think anybody alive today can grasp the level of sadism that the british stooped to in this situation and it should be recognized for what it was Genocide.
