SAVE THE INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL
These days, the fate of the International Memorial Society is being decided in Russia, which for many years has been researching the history of crimes and massive violations of human rights committed by totalitarian regimes in the past. During this time, documents, letters, diaries, and photographs have been collected, allowing us to see how many people died and suffered in the camps, how the machine of repression worked, and also to learn from what happened.
Hiding from the public the history of totalitarian repression in the 20th century is tantamount to denying the Holocaust, which is recognized as a crime in most civilized countries, including Russia.
Today, the International Memorial is lawlessly persecuted, its events are disrupted by raiders, and it faces closure through the courts on far-fetched grounds.
We call on the Russian authorities and the President of the Russian Federation to preserve the International Memorial and not prevent its employees from fulfilling their mission, which is important not only for the citizens of Russia, but also for all mankind.
