The Victims of Communism Museum held the opening reception for Belene – A Bulgarian Resistance Story this week. The groundbreaking and immersive pop-up exhibit is a worthwhile visit. The interactive exhibit is based on an interview conducted with survivor Nikola Daskalov of the worst Bulgarian gulag, Belene. Participants can ask Nikola questions and receive responses plucked from his interview by AI. On the outside of the exhibit, a peaceful wetland shows what Belene looks like today. Once inside, the depiction becomes bleak, just as it was in the gulags. Nikola sits waiting on a large screen, waiting for you to ask him a question. I was lucky enough to be able to interact with the exhibit myself and hear in Nikolai’s own words why he was put into the Belene camp. His reply was simple. “I was born in the wrong family.” The Bulgarian ambassador to the United States, Georgi Panayotov, made a moving speech before the exhibit was unveiled. He highlighted the Bulgarian people’s love of freedom and proudly reminded those in attendance that this year marked the 20th anniversary of Bulgaria’s NATO membership. In recent times, both in the United States and Bulgaria, people have forgotten the horrors of communism. In Bulgaria, some even talk about how “great” things were “back in Daddy Tosho’s day,” a reference to Todor Zhivkov, the longest-ruling leader of an Eastern-bloc communist nation. Sofia Platform Foundation focuses its efforts on recent history and civic education with the goal of keeping the memories of communist Bulgaria alive. With support from the America for Bulgaria Foundation, Sofia Platform pioneered Belene – A Bulgarian Resistance Story using state-of-the-art technology. The exhibit is part of their larger project, Belene.Camp, which works to preserve Bulgarian gulag survivor legacies through AI.  The exhibit helps people connect more personally to the individuals affected by communism. These stories brought back to life by AI should never be forgotten. The exhibit will be at the Victims of Communism Museum June 12–June 14.

from WND: One of Joe Biden’s key weapons in his promotion of the LGBT ideology for not just people in America but around the world has been his simple redefinition of words. “Sex,” his administration has claimed, actually means “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” Thus, his LGBT goals have been “protected” in federal law for […]
