A bunch of extremist Ukrainian nationalists tried to drive ethnic Poles out of a region they considered to be Ukrainian.
An atrocity, certainly.
But what does it have to do with Nazism?
Were the Serbs acting as Nazis when they tried to drive the Bosniaks and Croats out of Bosnia?
If you think so, you need a better dictionary.
Something is broken within you.
You call the mass murder of almost 100,000 CIVILIANS a mere attempt to “drive them out”.
Maybe you could be public relations for mass murderers.
That’s a clever twist of words to minimize an epic atrocity.
Should people who inspired and participated in mass murders, be celebrated by modern Ukrainians with new statues and street namings?
Is it just “propaganda” if people are concerned about this?
Maybe you could send a letter to the world Jewish congress, explaining that the butchery of various minorities in Ukraine was ok with you since at one point they also allied with the nazis to fight the soviets.
Why can’t they pick heroes who aren’t associated with mass murder?
How about this one?
“L’viv — A memorial plaque to Dmytro Paliiv (1896–1944), co-founder and SS-Hauptsturmführer of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) aka SS Galichina, unveiled 2007. SS Galichina was formed as a division in the Waffen-SS in 1943; among the formation’s war crimes is the Huta Pieniacka massacre, when an SS Galichina subunit slaughtered 500–1,200 Polish villagers, including burning people alive.”
What do you think?
How about this one?
“Bystrychi and five other locales – A memorial plaque to Taras Bulba-Borovets (1908–1973), the collaborator appointed by the Nazis to head the Ukrainian militia in the Sarny district. Bulba-Borovets’ men organized and carried out numerous pogroms, slaughtering the area’s Jews. In addition to the plaque in his native village, Bulba-Borovets has another plaque in Olevsk, a monument in Berezne and streets in Lutsk, Ovruch and Zhytomyr.”
These are the people they single out for praise and statues
