Victims of Communism - A comedy in the making

Canada's Victims of Communism Memorial Wall...turns to be hollow

Editor’s note: I apologize for my long absence. I was dealing with extremely traumatic personal issues, which included the death of my uncle. I thank you for your patience, and continued trust of historicly.

In 2017, Canada commissioned a project dedicated to the “Victims of Communism” and hired a Toronto architect to design it. It was entitled the “Arc of Memory” which featured two curving walls totaling 21 meters in length and four meters in height. The wall originally was supposed to feature names of so-called “Victims of Communism.” The original list had 550 names. As we reported earlier, when the list came out it had the unfortunate problem of including Nazis and Nazi collaborators. It wasn’t just ordinary soldiers, but at one point, the wall had people like Ante Pavelić, who was the leader of the Independent State of Croatia. The Independent State of Croatia was so brutal that actual Wehrmacht soldiers expressed disgust. As more and more names were discovered, more and more of them turned out to be Nazi collaborators. At one point, the research showed that over 60% of the names in the Victims of Communism list were Nazis or Nazi collaborators. Unfortunately, as they had already installed the wall, they faced increasing scrutiny, until earlier this week, when they decided to scrap the idea of listing the names altogether.Now, what remains is a large wall dedicated to all the “Victims of Communism”, which according to research by the Canadian government, is a grand total of zero. As with much anti-communist propaganda, this, too, collapsed under a little scrutiny. As we approach Christmas, for the twelve days of Christmas, we shall debunk anti-communist talking points.
