The communist holocaust, like the Nazi, should have brought
forth a flowering of Western art, witness, sympathy, and an ocean of
tears, and then a celebration at its downfall. Instead, it has called
forth a glacier of indifference. Kids who in the 1960s hung portraits of
Lenin, Mao, and Che on their college walls—the moral equivalent of
having hung portraits of Hitler, Goebbels, or Horst Wessel in one’s
dorm—came to teach our children about the moral superiority of their
generation. Every historical textbook lingers on the crimes of
Nazism—rightly so—seeks their root causes, draws a lesson from them, and
everybody knows the number six million. By contrast, the same textbooks
remain silent about the catastrophe of communism, everywhere it held or
holds power. Ask any college freshman—try it if you don’t believe me—
how many died under Stalin’s regime and they will answer even now,
“Thousands? Tens of thousands?” It is the equivalent of believing that
Hitler killed hundreds of Jews.
