Communist memorial
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Lech Walesa and Bob Dole are just a few of the names that make up the advisory council of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which this Friday will present the first Truman-Reagan Freedom Awards to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Elena Bonner, wife of the late Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, and the late AFL-CIO chief Lane Kirkland's widow, Irena, will be recipients of the awards, with Mrs. Kirkland accepting the honor on behalf of her husband.
Others to be honored at the awards dinner include former Lithuanian President Vyautas Landsbergis, and Bulgarian Ambassador Philip Dimitrov, who once served in the Soviet Politburo.
Proceeds of the event, which will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, will help establish the Victims of Communism Memorial Museum in Washington, to honor an estimated 100 million "victims of Communism" throughout the world.
President Clinton in 1993 signed into law the legislation that led to the formation of the foundation.
