Millions Who Died at the Hands of Communism Honored in Washington

In an article from NTD titled “Millions Who Died at the Hands of Communism Honored in Washington,” Emel Akan covers VOC’s 16th Annual Roll Call of Nations.

“A memorial was held in the nation’s capital on Friday to honor the millions of people who lost their lives due to communism around the world in the last century.

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) held its 16th annual wreath-laying ceremony, which brought together embassies, representatives of captive nations, and human rights organizations.

The event honored the more than 100 million victims of communism over the last century and those who still suffer under communist regimes, such as in China.

During his remarks at the ceremony, Lee Edwards, the founding chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, emphasized the importance of not overlooking the sacrifices made by people who suffered under communist regimes.

‘We are resolved to keep coming back to the memorial every June until that inevitable day, when we know that China is free, Cuba is free, Vietnam is free, North Korea is free, and Laos is free,’ he said, noting that over 1.5 billion people live under these repressive communist regimes.

‘Just as the Berlin Wall fell and the evil empire collapsed, we are confident that communism will wind up on the ash heap of history and all the captive nations will be captive no more,’ he said.”
