To the Editor:

V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8) is an appropriate time to enlarge Holocaust museums, and to include new Wholecaust museums. It is time to announce new, larger museums that will document the Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million killed under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 35 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. (The death tolls cited are from the book "Death by Government" by R. J. Rummel).

They were the worst atrocities in human history and so large that Holocaust Museums can triple in size with Wholecaust Museums. New Wholecaust Museums are slated for six cities worldwide (New York City, DC, Los Angeles, Berlin, Moscow and Beijing). As a lawyer, I am happy to announce that my supporters and I will assist all Holocaust museums in expanding to include Wholecaust museums.

V-E Day commemorates the victory over socialism and over the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). The U.S. helped end a war in which the National Socialist German Workers' Party initially joined with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as allies to invade Poland in 1939 in their scheme to divide up Europe.

Before, during and after the defeat of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed even more people. The Peoples; Republic of China followed.

The world must not forget. Help to enlarge all Holocaust museums.
