'Tis the first annual celebration of Black Ribbon Day, the American observation of the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism & Nazism. Seventy-five years ago to the day, 23 August 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed, crying "Havoc!" to seal the fate of independent Poland & letting slip the dogs of the Second World War. The Day of Remembrance of Victims of Stalinism & Nazism has been observed throughout the European Union, especially in those countries that were ground under the boot of Marxism-Leninism for decades after the end of "Stalinism." Stalinism & Nazism were not freak occurrences, they were the logical result of nihilism & Modernism. We must remember this sorry, blood-soaked chapter of history lest we doom ourselves to repeat it. Lest we forget.
