In the previous days, a placard has appeared in Kiev, that the German Nazi forces have seized on September 19, 1941, after 45 days of Soviet resistance

All Yids of the city of Kiev and its vicinity must appear on Monday, September 29, by 8 o’clock in the morning at the corner of Mel’nikova and Dokterivskaya streets. Bring documents, money, valuables and also warm clothing, linen etc. Any Yids who do not follow this order and are found elsewhere will be shot. Any civilians who enter the dwellings left by Yids and appropriate the things in them will be shot

On September 29, these families are led to Babi Yar ravine, Kiev northwestern suburb, where more than 30,000 victims are shot. The executioners are Ukrainian auxiliaries and mainly, the German Einsatzgruppe C, in charge of the Jewish genocide in northern and central Ukraine

The auxiliaries are Ukrainian nationalist militants, whose leader is Stepan Bandera (1909-1959). Within the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), the moderate ones are fan of Benito Mussolini. Bandera’s followers are rather praising Adolf Hitler. The leader is usually prescribing

Muscovites [Russians], Poles, Hungarians and Jews are your enemies, destroy them !

That is why early July in Lviv, western Ukraine, the nationalist militants already slaughtered 4,000 Jewish civilians, in order to celebrate the Nazi invasion of Soviet Union

The Ukrainian Schutzmannschaft [auxiliary police] carries on, alongside Germans, with the Holocaust by bullet. In the case of Miropol and that famous photo, the custom officers, although reported in the 60s, are not sued in West Germany where the denazification has been very flawed. But in Soviet Union, the KGB identifies the Ukrainians, who are sentenced to death in 1987

Another popular hero in Voldodymyr Zelenskyy’s Ukraine is Roman Shukhevych (1907-1950). Thanks to the KGB and its great memory, the Ukrainian Nazis, especially leaders, were not always living long. Shukhevych was captain within the Schutzmannschaft, became in 1943 the leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), military branch of the OUN, which slaughtered at least 50,000, might be 100,000 Polish civilians, with the benevolent detachment of the German occupiers, carried out later a guerilla against the victorious Red Army, with the support of the SS intelligence (SD), then Anglo-American intelligence agencies

Some Ukrainian nationalist militants have assassinated and fought under regular German command. Yaroslav Hunka was Waffen-SS within the 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS, Galizien [Galicia, Lviv region]. On September 22, 2023, in the presence of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and prime minister Justin Trudeau, at the invitation of the speaker, the whole Canadian parliament gives a standing ovation to the Ukrainian-Canadian WW2 hero, who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians [speaker]

Chrystia Freeland is deputy prime minister of Canada. Her grandfather was a Ukrainian Nazi and here is the point, when asked about these historical facts, she is usually replying that they would be Russian propaganda. Mykhailo Khomiak/Michael Chomiak was a Nazi propagandist, fled the victory of Soviet Union against Nazi Germany and settled in Canada after WW2. More broadly, UK, Canada and the US welcomed 8,500 Ukrainian SS.

Floor to the defence. Hunka comments on September 28. Brisk but resentful, the 98 year-old alt Kamerad complains that due to the Canadian and international outrage, he is forced to seek refuge with friends in South America.
