Although many in my family both in Russia and in Ukraine suffered under Communism, I would like to dedicate this tribute to my grandfather, Rafael Voetsky. Rev. Rafael Voetsky was a Russian Orthodox military chaplain at the outbreak of the revolution. He was taken at gunpoint from his wife and five children never to be seen from again. My grandmother and her children had to flee her community of Nikolaevsk on the Amur in order to escape a similar fate.

In memory of my husband, Vlastimil, who spent over 11 years in a Communist concentration camp and was forced to work in uranium mines in Jachymov in what was then Czechoslovakia. I hope that the memorial to victims of totalitarian Communism will also wake up all of those people who still think that Communism is good.

To the memory of victims from Latvia

Donated by Latvian National Federation in Canada
In memory of those who were lost on the path of torture in the Soviet Gulag.

To the starving men who fell by the roadsides.

To the mothers who held their frozen children in their arms.

To the children whose souls were gathered by God in the vastness of Siberia.

 To the heroes who sacrificed their lives so that Latvia would be a free and democratic country.

 Let the world know the price we have paid for our right to exist as a nation.
