The Gulag

April 26, 2006 RSS Feed Print

Jon Utley, a friend whose views on foreign policy are very different from mine, brings to my attention the opening of Ellis Island of exhibits from the Perm concentration camp in Russia. Jon's father died in the Gulag, and he has visited the Perm camp. I pass along this from an E-mail:

On May 3 there is opening on Ellis Island exhibits brought here from the Perm concentration camp. It is sponsored by the National Park Service. ... I wrote about the camp in my report on visiting Northern Russia.
