I have a bit of a problem with the title (not your fault, I know). It implies that the Ukraine as a nation was responsible for the atrocities committed on its soil.

Yes, I know there were Ukrainian collaborators who were quite willing to follow Nazi orders. But that was true in every occupied country, bar none.

It would have been better to have said "...the centre in Ukraine".

In fairness the pictures clearly show the Jews being persecuted and abused by civilians without a Nazi in sight. The Jews were getting the blame for the horrors the Ukrainians suffered under the Soviets (in one photo a Jew is made to kiss a toppled statue of Lenin). It appears the Ukrainians didn’t need much encouragement from the Germans to get into the Jew-bashing business.
