Fun story- my grandmother always claimed to be at the theater the night of the execution. She was in Chicago visiting relatives and happened to go to that theater and was even told to stop talking by the lady in the red dress.

I cannot confirm any of this actually happening but she always loved to tell the story.

Seems odd go exhume his remains for a TV show. Wonder what they are trying to find out by digging him up

Communists aren't people. They are property of the state.

Evidently the family wants to confirm that it's really him in that grave ...
