My Wall In Remembrance Of The Victims

My wall display is almost done. I was a History major and always loved the subject. Its a big reason I got into collecting coins in the first place. Of significant interest were/are the events of the 19'th and 20'th centurys that led to such horrific World Wars, such cruelty, such hatred, such evolution of the machines of War and the doctrines of using them.

So I wanted to build a collection display to remember and honor the victims of these atrocities, to remember the perpetrators, to remember the Heros that struck down the evils of fascism. In coins and currency I have built, or at least tried to, a display that reflects a period of Empires and destruction and in my own small way give new meaning to the words "Never forget".

Thanks to the Internet I can share it with you. Its maybe 90% done. I'm trying to get some coins/currency to help remember the Armenian genocide and I expect more material to go up to remember the millions who died and suffered in the '30's and post WW2 in Joe Stalins Soviet Union. In particular the "Holodomor" the time of great famine in Ukraine, a great genocide when Stalin starved to death 4 to 7 million in Ukraine when the Soviets forced the collectivization of agriculture in one of the worlds great bread baskets.

But mostly....its done.
