阿波羅網喬夫編譯/華盛頓DC--共產主義受害者紀念基金會近期宣佈「目擊者項目」，長達一年開創性的載錄數百萬世界各地共產黨統治下的悲慘故事，該項目是對於世界歷史上最惡毒的(共產)意識形態一個及時的提醒。
隨着古巴，朝鮮和中國大陸共產主義方興未艾，該組織堅決地要大家銘記人類對共產主義所付出的代價。
「目擊者項目在於表達對死於共產統治超過1億人以及仍繼續受共產邪惡折磨的數百萬人的敬意」，共產主義受害者紀念基金會執行董事馬里昂•史密斯(Marion Smith)說，「太多人認為共產主義是過去的意識形態，但實際上它仍存在於像北韓、中國大陸和古巴等地的悲慘現實。」
該項目將突顯全球各地倖存於共產主義統治下的戲劇性故事--從待在匈牙利古拉格集中營5年半的電影製片人到見證天安門事件的學生領袖。
目擊者項目將推出丹尼爾Magay(Daniel Magay)的故事，當匈牙利KGB(前蘇聯的國家安全委員會)奪走他父親的財產和生計時，他還只是個孩子， Magay家能倖免於完全被毀是因為他在劍擊上的才華--他在1956年奧運會上贏得了一面金牌，之後他投奔到美國並成為一名成功的商人。
Magay描述共產主義和他投奔到美國的情形時說，「那感覺就像被關在籠子裏，而當他們放你出來時，你知道那是什麼，自由。」
目擊者項目分享十多個生活在共產統治下的故事錄像，並將不斷推陳出新。讓我們一起來看看吧。
共產主義受害者紀念基金會總部設立於華盛頓，是一個專門為紀念世界各地100多萬共產主義受害者和為生活於共產極權受害者爭取自由的非營利性教育和人權組織。最近共產主義受害者VOC(Victims of Communism)(紀念基金會)發佈了將在2017年完成建造於華盛頓的共產主義國際博物館破土動工的訊息。

Anti-Communist Group To Release「Witness Project」 Documenting Communism's Crimes Against Humanity
[page]
As Cuba, North Korea, and China are Ascendant, Organization Remains Determined to Remember Communism's Human Costs
Washington DC– The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation today announced The Witness Project, a year-long initiative to catalog stories from around the world of some of the millions who suffered under communist rule. The project is a timely reminder of the most deadly ideology in the history of the world.
「The Witness Project honors the more than100 million individuals who have died under communist rule and millions more who continue to suffer its evils,」 said Marion Smith, the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.「Too many people consider communism an ideology of the past, but it is still a sad reality in places like North Korea, China, and Cuba.」
The Project will highlight the dramatic stories of communism's survivors across the globe-- from a filmmaker who spent5½ years in the gulags of Hungary to a student leader who witnessed the Tiananmen Square massacre.
The Witness Project will launch with the story of Daniel Magay who was just a child when the Hungarian KGB took his father's estate and livelihood. Magay's family was only spared total ruin because of his talent in fencing, a talent that won him a gold medal in the1956 Olympics, after which he defected to the United States and became a successful businessman.
Describing communism and his defection to America, Magay says,「It's like you are in a cage. That's how you feel. And when they let you out of the cage, you know what that is. What freedom is.」

The Witness Project includes more than ten other videos that share stories of individuals who lived under communism and will be continuously updated with new stories. Check them out HERE.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is a Washington-based, non-profit educational and human rights organization devoted to commemorating the more than100 million victims of communism around the world and to the freedom of those still living under totalitarian regimes. Recently VOC has announced its efforts to break ground on an international museum on communism in Washington in2017.
