Join us on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 from 4-8 pm to mark Victims of Communism Memorial Day with our International Cultural and Food Fair.
Each year in early November, VOC honors the more than 100 million killed and 1.5 billion still enslaved by communist regimes around the world. On Tuesday, November 7, 2023, we will mark Victims of Communism Memorial Day with our International Cultural & Food Fair at our museum in Washington, D.C.
In partnership with embassies and ethnic partner organizations, we will showcase ethnic cuisine and drink from the almost 40 countries that fell victim to or are still victims of communist regimes. Guests will have an opportunity to try these cuisine items and will learn from country representatives about each nation’s experience under communism as well as their unique history, culture, and traditions. Guests will also be able to tour the museum.
Our program will include remarks by Rep. Ben Toma, Majority Leader in the Arizona House of Representatives who will speak about his experience living under the Ceaușescu regime in Romania, and Gary Powers Jr., son of Francis Gary Powers Sr., CIA U-2 pilot who was shot down in the midst of the Cold War while flying in Soviet airspace, along with video remarks from representatives of all seven states where VOC Day has been passed.
Also speaking was Ambassador Andrew Bremberg, President, and Ashlee Davis, Director of Development for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation
Join us at the Victims of Communism Museum in Washington, D.C. in November for this important anniversary.
Thank you to our sponsor, Havana Club, and to our co-hosts, FIU in DC and the Václav Havel Program for Human Rights at Democracy at FIU’s Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
