Is communism not disappearing, but just being transformed? Is the abolition of the Memorial Day for the Victims of Communism in Slovenia a step towards erasing the past? Is Western Europe deliberately turning its back on the horrors of communism? If you want answers to these questions, join the upcoming event hosted by the Institute for the Research of Communism!

Our speaker will be the historian Jože Dežman, President of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia’s Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia. He will present the reality of the 20th-century Yugoslav communist terror, which is ever more frequently relativized.

Mr. Dežman is a Slovenian historian who researches the consequences of the racist divisions in Slovenian society during the Titoist era. Formerly he was director of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia and the National Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia. He believes that Western Europe deliberately refuses to listen to the history of Eastern Europe and the tragedies of its 20th-century history.
