Communism Opens Up

From Yahoo News:
"Communist-era files still haunt the Old East Bloc"

I have written about this many times, but believe it deserves more attention. It has been 20 years since the fall of Communism throughout Eastern Europe and that is more than enough time to allow ALL files from the Communist-era to be FULLY disclosed to the public (especially those directly affected.) I have many friends from the former East Germany and the former Soviet Union and several of them I asked believe the same as I do - that the files need to be opened and the people who worked for the Communists need to be known. Only a handful of my friends think that opening the files will only lead to more problems since the majority of those who reported on people were friends or family members of that person.

  People throughout the former Eastern Bloc and former USSR need to know the full truth about what happened in order to understand, learn and more on. You can not completely move forward without knowing the past.
