During the 35 years Eli Rosenbaum spent hunting Nazis, he always looked up to his forebears in the profession. But it was only recently, as he ventured into Ukraine to track down Russian war criminals, that he felt a personal connection with the investigators who pursued Adolf Hitler’s henchmen in the years following World War II.
For the first time in his career, Rosenbaum was seeking evidence of crimes as soon as, or almost as soon as, they were committed.

Russia invaded Ukraine.
Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Argentina invaded the Falklands.
Arabs invaded Israel.
North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam.
North Korea invaded South Korea.
Arabs invaded Israel.
Germany invaded Poland.
Japan invaded Manchuria.
Wars of conquest must be repudiated or the whole world burns.
I’m sure his unit is investigating crimes from both sides, right?
Um, surely Mr. Rosenbaum knows that 1.5 million Jews lived in Ukraine when Germany invaded in 1942. Ukrainians joined with Nazis to slaughter them...not in private, tidy death camps, but at close range via firing squads in public view...30,000 at Babi Yar (outside Kiev) alone. When Russia invaded Ukraine, a Rabbi I know told me “good...I hope they destroy it. Monsters” (his entire family was exterminated there)
Red monkey, for insight, see the Nuremberg Trials. Or read the history of Ken Rex McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri.
LOL. USA invaded Iraq...
Ukrainians, on their own, during WWII, killed Poles. They are not angels, now or then. Russians aren’t either. The whole thing is a mess.
“USA invaded Iraq...”
The US did not invade Iraq to conquer it and make it a US state. The US never denied the nation of Iraq and its citizens the right to exist. The US also did not kill civilians and cities as a battle objective.
I know about the Nuremberg Trials and in my opinion, it had the stench of “Victor’s Justice” about it.
All the judges were from the Allies, charges were made up after the fact and the Allies themselves could have been charged with many of the same “Crimes against_______”
.
There were plenty enough real crimes like murder, thief, rape etc, without making up “Crimes against Humanity” which wasn’t ever listed in any Geneva Convention violations.
Not defending what the fascist did in the war but I’m not papering over was the Allie’s(mostly USSR but we did some, too)
You don’t think industrialized farm animal-type factory killing of civilians being ushered through by the millions is so different than “”real crimes like murder, thief, rape etc”” that it might call for special war trials?
Whether it was a single Jewish boy to six million Jews, you can only stretch the Nazis scum necks once.
The Nazis involved will pay for their heinous acts in Hell forever.
The trials were important, and Jews were only about a little more than half of those camps.
This was about more than the usual war atrocities, this was something new and something that had to be documented and cataloged, and defined and categorized.
this guy was appointed by Garland.. what could go wrong
The invasion itself is a war crime.
The Ukrainians had millions killed by the Communists in the Holodomor terror famine that Stalin committed, and blamed Jews as being supporters of the Communist regime. When the Nazis arrived, they regarded them as liberators.
My point was that people don’t have sympathy for established bullies.
Ukrainian soldiers also liberated concentration camp victims, but those soldiers were communists. Most of today’s Ukrainians don’t want to be Nazis or communists. They don’t want to live under any dictatorship that shares autocracy in common with Nazism or communism. That’s why they’re fighting to avoid being ruled and enslaved by the Kremlin.

“Soldiers of the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front opened the gates of Auschwitz Concentration Camp on January 27, 1945. The prisoners greeted them as authentic liberators. It was a paradox of history that soldiers formally representing Stalinist totalitarianism brought freedom to the prisoners of Nazi totalitarianism.”
