grteYou can't hold public office and not know who fought who in WWII
This article kind of sucks.
Here is an article that paints a more nuanced picture and doesn’t call every MP an idiot.
Not blaming you for posting, OP. Just wanted to offer a take with more depth than “Nazis bad” Everyone knows Nazis are bad. This situation is more complex than that.
I don’t really think it is. That article you linked is holocaust revisionism and I think you should really rethink how much grey area you think there is in this situation.
I’m not arguing that the Holocaust didn’t happen.
I just linked an article stating that this singular Ukranian man fought on a unit that was found to have committed no war crimes.
I can also link to a [Wikipedia page](en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_Hunka#:~:text=Ya…
He fought for Nazi Germany who murdered 11 million Slavs, 4 million of those being Ukrainians who he supposedly was fighting for. Hunka is a betrayer. A willing participant in genocide.
I swear to you that I believe the Holocaust happened.
I’m trying to say that one man, who was 18 years old, in 1943, living in Ukraine (which was part of the Soviet Union at the time), might have had limited options in what he did for a living.
And if he didn’t want to his people to be a part of the Soviet Union then he could have ended up on a unit that was working against the Soviet Union. I’m not saying that was right or wrong. I’m just saying it’s more complicated than “this guy was a Nazi” and the whole government of Canada is full of idiots.
You should say it was wrong. This man was a willing collaborator with the genocide of his own people, and other peoples as well. It really shouldn’t be hard to say it was wrong.
[edit] I feel I should say that my intention was not to accuse you of holocaust revisionism. But the Politico article is and I suggest you look at it with a more critical eye.
PPS: Nazi apologists admit genocide is bad challenge: impossible.
