It’s almost impossible to wrap your head around this fact: in the past 100 years, historians estimate that 100 million people worldwide perished under the evil, heavy hand of communism.
Even more astonishing is the fact that 1 in 3 American “millennials” have a favorable view of communism while 1.5 billion global citizens today suffer under these oppressive regimes.
People often ask when planning a trip to Washington, D.C. what museums and buildings they should visit for a well-rounded family trip. We always suggest that they should tour the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court building along with a day-long visit to two sacred places – the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and Arlington National Cemetery across the river in Virginia.
After reading about this new privately funded museum that reminds us of the horrors of communism, that should be added to anyone’s “must see” list of places to visit during their next trip to our nation’s capital.
