Alternatively, the Holocaust Memorial in DC should be expanded, to include victims of communism. Currently, the exclusion of victims of Stalinism and Maoism from the DC Museum, reduces the Museum to a monument to political correctness.

Should America Build A Holocaust Memorial for the 100 Million Victims of Communism?

Actually, the Russians should, but I doubt that would happen any time soon.

So I would answer yes to this question.

[Xiaoding]

Who gives a crap? Eastern Europe didn't exactly cover itself in glory during WWII, remember? Mostly spent it's time running trains of Jews to the Germans. They got what they deserved. We should raise a statue to Stalin, he killed more commies than anyone else.

[Jaysun]

I don't know about this. My gut says, "No, let the countries from which the victims came build memorials." America makes no bones about our stance on Communism - we fought it for forty-five years.

[Treader]

I fully concur! Ask any US High School student about Stalin or Mao's body counts- and you will get a blank stare.

[MadIvan]

Yes, absolutely. The crimes of the Communist world do need to be remembered and preserved.

Do you have any idea how many Russians were killed in WWII? I'm not giving and support for communism but to deny them a day of recognition for a good deed seems disrespectful. Again look up the Russian dead in WWII. I think you will be surprised.

[drt1]

Agree. The emphasis on the Jewish extermination to the exclusion of what are arguably far, far greater mass killings/ethnic cleansing reflects the political power and media bias. It would appear that, for the most part, if you skin is not white or you are the victim of Communist atrocity the European/American world doesn't recognize your suffering.

[lodwick]

You're kidding.

I hope.

[OldFriend]

Some Americans are angry. About everything and anything.

[whereasandsoforth]

As long as such a memorial is labeled correctly. I wouldn't want it at all if the message behind it got blurred into something that makes it look like those people died in a heatwave or something equally misleading.

[Wombat101]

I think we should, bu then again that would also entail several years of watching Madeleine Halfbright on televison. scolding us on how such an endeavor would further insult Vladimir Putin (sarcasm warning)...

[RetiredArmy]

Only if it is built in the main hall way of the DNC, their current, modern day equivalent of pure communists, with the same ideals, goals, wants, wishes, aspirations and deeds.

[clearlight]

I would support a memorial if only to bring this story to light. Too many people, worldwide, have no idea as to the astounding number of people massacred by leftist/socialist/communist tyranny. It's not a story that media liberals in our or any other country want told.

[ArrogantBustard]

The Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC is so constructed that including anything else in it just wouldn't work. The building itself is very specific to the crimes of the Third Reich.

OTOH, a memorial/museum for the >hundred million victims of international communism should be built, and it should include everthying from the decamegamurders of Stalin and Mao down to the nasty little Marxist kakistocracies of southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. And it should include the complicity of the American political "left" with the crimes of the overseas communist regimes. IMO.

[rudyudy]

I suggest we first get the New York Times to recognize the slaughter in the Ukraine.

[DoctorMichael]

Should America Build A Holocaust Memorial for the 100 Million Victims of Communism?

Yes, but the Russians, Chinese, residual-in-retirement-unprosecuted Pol Pot followers, Vietnamese, Castro, Chavez, etc. should be made to pay for it.

[fish hawk]

A cheap way to build the Communist Holocaust Memorial: Kick the United Nations out of American and make that building the Memorial. Saving American taxpayers MILLIONS.

[LibWhacker]

Yes, I think it's an excellent idea. But it's not the first time it has been brought up. Democrats will never allow the building of such a memorial because that would be an admission that their political philosophy is rooted in blood, and in fact is an order of magnitude bloodier than Nazism.

[Cowboy Bob]

Should America Build A Holocaust Memorial for the 100 Million Victims of Communism?

Why? It didn't happen here.

Should we build a monument to the "Rape of Nan-king," "The Killing Fields of Cambodia," and the Armenian Genocide too? I don't think we should have built a Holocaust Memorial here because none of the killings occurred here, and the Us was not involved with the killing.

[CAPTAINSUPERMARVELMAN]

If it will make all of the putrid commie scumbag supporters and advocates angry then I say heck yeah!
