Description
From Authorizing Law (paraphrased): Since 1917, communist rulers led by Lenin and Mao have been responsible for 100 million deaths in an "unprecedented imperial communist holocaust" in 40 captive nations... there is danger that the heroic sacrifices may be forgotten...should be permanently memorialized so that never again will nations and people allow so evil a tyranny to terrorize the world."
