Museum news
The Museum’s new temporary exhibit chronicles the Soviet-made famine that killed millions of Ukrainians from 1932-1933 and connects this dark chapter to Russia’s ongoing and brutal war in Ukraine.
George F. Will writes that “D.C.’s new Victims of Communism Museum tells a vital, unfinished tale. Visitors to the museum will experience a wholesome immersion in the nation’s anti-communist success. And they will be reminded that this work is unfinished.“
