The greatest killers in the known history of the world never faced justice, and in the void left by their unpunished crimes the world risks slipping backward into the mistakes of history. That is the message delivered by Marion Smith, the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, in an interview with Epoch Times.
Communism has claimed the lives of more than 100 million people in the less than 100 years since Russias Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Its death toll is higher than that of World War I and World War II combined.
Communism began a wave of famine and killing that swept through Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. In every country it touched, totalitarian regimes took power or violent guerrilla movements launched campaigns of terror and tyranny. The appalling ignorance of many Americans about the evils of communism is a great disservice to the memories of the millions who died under communist regimes, said Smith in a phone interview.
It is also making it much harder to combat those communist regimes still in existence who are tormenting citizens, clamping down on free speech, and posing a danger to the rest of the free world, Smith said.
The U.S.-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed in 1994 by an Act of Congress to memorialize the victims of communism, educate younger generations about the nature of communism, and document evidence of its crimes.
Smith said education on the nature of communism is important, not only because of its crimesmany of which have still not seen justice, but also because it still exists in todays world. And in countries including China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba it is continuing its abusive legacy.
Smith recently returned from a monthlong trip to Hong Kong where activists are now protesting for democratic, free elections under threat of mainland Chinas communist rule. He met with business leaders, human rights campaigners and leaders, student leaders and protesters, academics, and even police officers to gain a better understanding of the situation.
The people of Hong Kong have a culture of liberty that they think is being threatened, he said, adding that the protesters believe if they do not take a stand for free elections, theyre afraid they may not be able to have another opportunity.

At its core, Smith said, what is now unfolding in Hong Kong is just another case of a Communist regime attacking the freedom of a democratic state. He said, it is China trying to curtail the freedoms of Hong Kong, which has been for decades a free society.
