I was so touched by the news that Canada is planning to build a Memorial to Victims of Communism. Our family was one of the many victims, and my husband, two children and I escaped from Hungary in 1956. Canada was so generous to us and helped us get a new start.
 
My daughter was only ten when we escaped, but all her life she was curious about the events that led us leave our country and become refugees. I wrote notes in Hungarian, as I remembered them, and she decided to...

The Red Army took over Belarus in late 1918, less than one year after its declaration of independence following the collapse of the Russian Empire. The position of  Belarus between  Russia and Poland  has made it a crossroads of war and agression.  Political repressions started at the very beginning of the Soviet regime.  Collectivization destroyed Belarus' peasantry.

In memory of Pedro Luis Boitel
 
My family and I have been victims of communism in many ways, we suffered in Cuba, psychologically and otherwise. We were harassed, our house was searched, and that is why I had to leave Cuba in 1997. I continue my struggle against communism by working with the Cuban Canadian Foundation. I dedicate my humble donation in memory of Pedro Luis Boitel, who was murdered in prison for political activism, in the Castro brothers dictatorship.

When I was 9 years old, just four years after my mother passed away, my father was sent to prison because he was an outspoken activist against the Fidel Castro dictatorship. For many years I had to endure the exclusion from social acceptance because I was the daughter of a counter revolutionary, in the eyes of the regime. My will to fight this type of government, capable of inflicting such unbearable pain in a child, grew stronger with the years, so I became a human rights activist myself....

In 1993 I was sentenced to spend the next 8 years of my life in a Cuban prison. My only crime was to write and distribute propaganda against the Cuban regime, a communist dictatorship that has been in power for the last 54 years. It is controlling the whole nation in every aspect, without permitting the slimmest sign of opposition. In May of 1998, after five years and four months in prison, and thanks to the efforts of Amnesty International, Pope John Paul II and the Government of Canada, I...

00706-00707 Robert Tmej

Dedicated to my parents, Jaroslav and Zdenka Tmej of Toronto. My parents fled their homeland of Czechoslovakia after World War II in the wake of the Communist takeover. While building a new life for themselves in Canada, they continued to support the fight against Communism in Czechoslovakia and other lands. They still work tirelessly to ensure the next generations understand the sacrifices they made, the hardships they endured, and the pain and suffering of those left behind. Canadians...

In memory of my father, Janis Kalnins, and dedicated to those transported from Riga's railway yard to Siberia in June 1941. As a child, I grew up listening to many war stories and accounts of cruelty, degradation and injustice inflicted on innocent citizens of Latvia by the Soviet Union under Stalin's regime. There is, however, one incident told by my father, Janis Kalnins, that stands out in my mind. The incident happened in Riga's railway yard in June 1941, where at that time my father...

My late grandmother arrived from the Soviet Union in the late 1920s, this after her peasant family was first transported around the U.S.S.R., including a stint in Siberia; she and her family were farmer peasants of German stock. Thus, they were undesirable elements, "enemies of the people," is how a devout communist might have put it.

In memory of my father, Antons Nadolskis, who spent 10 years in the Gulag in Siberia for helping people escape from Latvia to Sweden during WWII. He and six other brave men organized small fishing boats to carry refugees and leave at night from the coast of Kurzeme, Latvia to go to Gottland in Sweden. On March 5, 1945, he put my mother, me and my younger brother on a boat and said he would come later, on "the last boat." Before he could do so, he was captured by the Communists and sent to...

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.

Mass deportations of Latvians to the Gulag.
 
To 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.
