Victims of Communism Museum Opens
 
The Victim of Communism Museum opened in downtown Washington, DC last month. Has anyone seen it? To date Communists have killed an estimated 100 million people. https://vocmuseum.org/

I will visit it sometime this summer and will be interested in seeing how prominent (if at all) the word "neoconservatism" appears in the curated exhibitions.

The museum has been in the offing since the Clinton Administration, obviously a time when the fall of communism was a current event and communism was part of the cultural zeitgeist. Wonder how it will play to young Millennials and Gen Zer's.

Pretty unsurprising, obxgirl, but there is nothing on the museum website on the "About" tab - no list of BoD, etc. That info does appear on the foundation page.

Agreed. I went looking and it was a short trip down the rabbit hole.
