Address by the President of Ukraine on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day [Transcript in English.]
Official Website, Office of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy ^ | January 27, 2023 | President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Today, as always, Ukraine honors the memory of millions of Holocaust victims.

We know and remember that indifference kills along with hatred. Indifference and hatred are always capable of creating evil together only.

That is why it is so important that everyone who values ​​life should show determination when it comes to saving those whom hatred seeks to destroy.

Today we remember the Righteous Among the Nations. Different people in different countries who were equally determined to save lives. Today we remember the determination of the global coalition that stopped Nazism.

And today we repeat it even more strongly than before: never again to hatred; never again to indifference. The more nations of the world overcome indifference, the less space there will be in the world for hatred.

Eternal memory to all victims of the Holocaust!

The President of the Ukraine is a crook and a grifter, hellbent on taking American taxpayers for a ride. And you wave Pom poms like a school girl.

The President of Russia is a bloodthirsty dictator, hellbent on destroying Ukraine and, if necessary, his own country in a desperate effort to hold onto his power and riches. And you wave pom poms like a schoolgirl.

Right, and the Soviets/Russians started their own arrests/deportations and executions.

Ukraine Parliament Cheers Nazi Collaborator

January 6, 2023

Even neighboring Poland, a staunch ally of Kiev in the ongoing war with Russia, has criticized the Verkhovna Rada’s Jan. 1 celebration of the birthday of Stepan Bandera.

Russians name Stalin as the most ‘outstanding’ figure of all times

Back in 2007, Putin expressed concern about the presentation of Russian history in schools, with this leading to the appearance of a manual for teachers by Alexander Filippov, which described Stalin as “one of the most successful leaders of the USSR”. It was material like this that by October that year made Putin welcome “certain positive moves”, noting that “up till quite recently we read things in textbooks that made our hair stand on end…”

Since then, there has been a general trend towards glorifying Stalin’s role in WWII, concealment or justification of the Soviet Union’s collaboration with Nazi Germany during the first almost 2 years of the War. This resulted in the surreal prosecution of Vladimir Luzgin and the Russian Supreme Court’s September 1, 2016 effective ruling that the USSR had not invaded Poland in September 1939. The Russian authorities have blocked access to military archives, and the State Duma has now passed a bill criminalizing any comparison of the regimes of Hitler and Stalin.

Soros is a Jew too. That doesn’t absolve him for operating, colluding, and funding Nazi’s.

Since 1991, mourning rallies are held annually at Babi Yar on September 29 and yes, last year Zelensky commemorated the victims of the Babyn Yar tragedy

Thoughtful gesture on Z’s part, since many of the executioners were Ukrainians! Meanwhile, Just in time for International Holocaust Day! The Ukrainian postal service issued a series of postage stamps dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the SS division "Galicia". Don't google that division please.

From 2014

Babi Yar

The thinking today is true to pre-WW2 form: “This can’t happen again.” Part of what is clouding the issue is the very Jewish backgrounds of some in the Kiev government–including Yatsenyuk. A few of the Oligarchs-turned-governors even have Israeli citizenship.

During WW2, Babi Yar was the single most horrific act of holocaust at the time. Even today, the Banderite response to Babi Yar is “I am proud of the fact that among 1,500 Polizei executioners in Babiy Yar there were 1,200 OUN men but only 300 Germans.” This quote is from a Rivne city official named Shkuratiuk, and appears in the book Organized Anti-Semitism in Contemporary Ukraine: Structure, Influence and Ideology by Pers Anders Rudling.

The atrocities at Babi Yar, and the accompanying brutality, were left to SS Nachtigall and the polizei. Both were Banderite. The reason was simple. The brutal work of genocide at this level made even hardened German SS uncomfortable. This fact is even obscured in the Holocaust Encyclopedia at the United States Holocaust Museum.

During the period September 29-30, 1941, the first massacre at Babi Yar killed over 30,000 Jews. Over the next few years the genocide piled up. Victims from the Roma (Gypsies) alone numbered almost 200,000. Banderite apologists have offered a range of rationalizations, from “Ukrainians suffered too” to the surreal “Bandera’s men stepped back and the Jews did it themselves.” No kidding. Babi Yar was racial suicide.

What separates Germany from the Bandera Nationalists in Ukraine is that Germany has taken responsibility for the atrocities they committed. Until recent events, they could say believably, “Never Again.” Contrast this to Lviv, Ukraine, where surviving members of the WW2 Galician SS, willing participants in genocide, still parade on holidays, proudly displaying medals given them by the German Third Reich.

Everybody from WW2 is dead, but if you want to delve into WW2, it all started with Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact
