Today (August 23rd) is Black Ribbon Day.
It is the day the European Union, Georgia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the
United States remembers the men, women and children murdered by both the Nazis
and the Communists. The date was chosen because it was when the Molotov–Ribbentrop
Pact between the German Nazis and the Soviet Communists was signed in 1939.
