On November 7th, National Day for the Victims of Communism, some of the victims of Cuban communism are remembered.

 

 

November 7th is the National Day for the Victims of Communism, and is a day ” to remember those who have suffered and died at the hands of communist regimes in the past, and to stand for those who are fighting for freedom today.” This is an initiative launched by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in 2017, and has made an impact both nationally and at the state level over the past five years. Virginia has officially recognized this day of remembrance since 2018 on November 7th. Florida officially recognized the day for the first time in 2022.

Ten US states ( Alabama, Arizona, California, Idaho, Florida, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Georgia, and Wisconsin) observe this national day, and seven more (Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) plan to join them.

This is a day for Cubans, who are still struggling to free Cuba from the Castro communist dictatorship, to remember the victims and those still fighting for freedom today, and paying a high price.

Tens of thousands of Cubans have died due to the communist dictatorship in the island, but the regime has also racked up a body count in overseas revolutionary ventures.

This Cuba Brief will provide a partial accounting with some highlights for the sake of brevity.
