Black Ribbon Day resolution adopted by the Parliament 
of Canada of November 30, 2009, establish a day of re-
membrance for victims of Communist and Nazi regimes 
to remember and commemorate their victims; 
Whereas August 23 would be an appropriate date to des-
ignate as Black Ribbon Day to remember and never for-
get the terror millions of citizens in Central and Eastern 
Europe experienced for more than 40 years by ruthless 
military, economic, and political repression of the people 
through arbitrary executions, mass arrests, deportations, 
the suppression of free speech, confiscation of private 
property, and the destruction of cultural and moral iden-
tity and civil society, all of which deprived the vast ma-
jority of the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe of 
their basic human rights and dignity, separating them 
from the democratic world by means of the Iron Curtain 
and the Berlin Wall; and 
Whereas the memories of Europe’s tragic past cannot be for-
gotten in order to honor the victims, condemn the per-
petrators, and lay the foundation for reconciliation based 
on truth and remembrance: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of Black Ribbon Day to recognize the vic-
tims of Soviet Communist and Nazi regimes.
