Treat communism crimes in same way as Nazi crimes, justice minister says
Change language:
The crimes of Communism should be treated in the same way as Nazi crimes, Justice Minister Judit Varga said at the Victims of Communism Museum in Washington, DC.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in the United States has a vital role in keeping the events of many decades ago in the minds of younger generations, Varga said on Wednesday local time. History also provides lessons for the present, she said, adding that gaining an understanding of the events of 1956 should be available to everyone around the world.
“This is a highly important exhibition,” she said. “I’m very glad that Americans and Hungarians set the exhibition up, depicting the horrors of Communism in an interactive way.” The museum is located in the government district in downtown Washington, DC, a few hundred meters from the White House.
Believe the Ukrainians will be making a very similar case regarding Russian war crimes – and given their mindset, Ukraine will probably not wait 50 plus years to make their assertions (even though our Politicians may ask them to set these sentiments aside in the interest of World Peace, the Economy, etc.)
