Unveiled in Ottawa on December 12, 2024, the $7.5 million Memorial to the Victims of Communism honors those who suffered under communist rule and celebrates Canada as a refuge. Historians in 2023 flagged over 330 of the proposed names for potential Nazi collaborations, unverifiable details, or lack of Canadian ties, including figures like Roman Shukhevych and Janis Niedra. The wall will now display thematic content, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, to focus on broader history without individual listings. The change highlights the tangled histories of Eastern European anti-communist fighters.

Key Takeaway

The memorial's planned Wall of Remembrance aimed to honor 553 individuals who fled communist regimes. But concerns over Nazi and fascist links among many names led officials to scrap the idea entirely.

Saudi Arabia prohibits public non-Muslim worship and bars non-Muslims from Mecca, protecting its Islamic identity across 2.15 million square kilometers. Vatican City, a tiny 0.44-square-kilometer enclave for the Catholic Church, has no mosques despite a recent prayer room for Muslim visitors. Critics note the scale difference, comparing it to church complexes rather than nations, while both maintain exclusive holy spaces amid ongoing cultural tensions.

Key Takeaway
