VOC is proud to announce the grand opening of the Victims of Communism Museum in Washington, DC. Join us to teach truth, seek justice, and remember the victims.

On November 7, 2019, Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation Executive Director Marion Smith accompanied dissidents from Poland, Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea to the White House where President Trump declared an official day commemorating victims of communism.

President Trump established the first-ever U.S. National Day for the Victims of Communism in 2017 for the Centennial of the Bolshevik Revolution. Many States are following suit by establishing November 7 as the Memorial Day for the Victims of Communism, Virginia being the first state to do so in 2018.
