Stalin was shooting thousands night and day in Ukraine long before Hitler did.

And those he didn’t shoot, he starved.

That is the back story that is being missed here. The Ukrainians had suffered horrendously under Stalin and the Communists and not unnaturally initially welcomed the Germans as liberators (they soon realised their mistake).

I would guess that many of the pictures of the Jews being abused and insulted are from the early days of the occupation, one very telling photograph shows a Jewish man being forced to kiss a presumably recently toppled statue of Lenin. It is undeniable that among senior Communist Party apparatchiks there was a disproportionate number of Jews and in this case, unforgivably I should stress, ordinary Jews are being collectively punished for the crimes of the Communists.

Alas the problem for the Jews is that one lot accuses them of masterminding capitalism and the other lot accuse them of masterminding communism. It is not a comfortable position to be in when these two mobs meet.
