1. JEWISH EXTREMISTS' GLOBAL CENSORSHIP
Jewish organization like Anti-Defamation Ligue, Bnei Brith, so-called Institute
Against Terrorism, Jewish Congress and others are censoring any material about Israel, Judaism, Holocaust, Jewish criminal activity, human rights violations by Israel and Diaspora Jewish groups, etc. It not only violates basic principles of democracy and free speech, but also gives the world Jewish extremists the total control over media and - indirectly governments of independent countries like USA, Canada, and others. Through an excuse of fighting anti-Semitism Jewish extremists actually controlling vide range of topics, practically any one, not only historical or political, but also cultural, religious, and any other. In many ways they for example suppressed and forbidden Christianity. There are no Christian signs, symbolic, ads, announcements, placards etc. in Canadian cities any more. In the same time there are lots of open Judaism propaganda and missionary placards, signs, ads, etc.
By forcing Immigration of the variety of countries to prevent people, whose ideas they don't tolerate, from traveling, or to persecute dissidents, Jewish extremists are executing functions of sovereign governments. In Canada they completely seized the control over Immigration Canada, which became a Jewish institution, and this institution is getting more and more power, replacing the government. In reality they control many of the governmental institutions. Little by little we became citizens of a new totalitarian colonial Jewish Empire, which is constantly expanding and already includes Canada, US, and a number of European countries.
Like any totalitarian colonial power Jewish Extremism is using (against dissidents) legal or conspiratory persecutions, lawsuits, administrative pressure, batteries, imprisonment, devastation of their victims' social, professional, or economic status. Jewish persecutors act very much as the "KGB of the modern western world". (MORE).
2. HOLOCAUST DENIERS PERSECUTION: WHO's AMORAL?
The whole military, political, police, intelligence and public machine of the State of Israel and the powerful Jewish lobbies is used not only against people who deny Jewish genocide of 1930-s-40-s, but against those who would like to discuss the correctness of numbers, facts, or attitude towards the history. Amorality of the Jewish "morality defenders" is first of all their conflict of interests. For the Jewish extremists Holocaust became a busyness, a carnage of vicious vultures on top of millions of dead. They are making a fantastic income on the bones of Auschwiz or Maidanek victims. Jewish writer and human rights activist Gregory SVIRSKY called this carnage the most amoral thing in Jewish history. The next amoral thing is that not the victims of Holocaust and their descendants are benefiting from the fantastic compensation provided by the Western world to the global Jewish community, but mostly Israeli government and the extremist Jewish organizations. There are thousands of financial violations in the process of transferring the contributed money from the Israeli government and "committees" to ordinary people. Here is just a small example. Elisabetha EPSTEIN (Montreal) was issued the German compensation as a person who flied from the German occupation zone. This compensation was frozen by the Israeli authorities because she was the mother of a dissident and a refugee claimant from Israel in Canada. Money, which she had to receive, was consumed by the Israeli government!
The State of Israel has no moral rights to be a representative of the former genocide (Holocaust) victims also because the Israeli regime itself is guilty in Palestinian and Russian genocide (see MORE).
Israel as a successor of the Jewish North American and Zionist Jewish politicians of the 1930-s must pay a huge contribution to the victims of Holocaust and their descendants because shares responsibility for the genocide of European Jews. Since the 30-s there was a tendency to wish elimination of European Ashkenazi Jews. North American Jews, Zionists and some Sephardic leaders treated European Jews as degraded and wanted them out of the picture. Zionist leaders did not hide their sympathy to the Nazis because they both ideologically were national socialists. Contacts between Palestinian Jewish "Ishuv" leaders - and the top nazi leaders, and between Zionist - and German leadership in 1930-s-40-s is a well-known historical fact. Actually, Zionists were fought on the German side, against Britain. Notes of loyalty of the Ishuv to German Nazis were also well known. By racism, hatred between different ethnical and sub ethnical groups, fascist ideology and nazi laws Israel is a sole political successor of the Nazi Germany. Zionist leaders did not care to hide their joy about the elimination of the "assimilated" European Jews and the conviction that the Zionist homeland must be rebuild, based on the Catastrophe of European Jews. Israeli orthodox religious leaders pointed many times that European Jews were "punished" by genocide "because of assimilation". Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" was translated to Hebrew and became the most popular among "sabras" (Israel-born natives) youths book. Watching movies like the "List of Schindler", young Israeli neo-nazis are applauding the fascist murderers because they adore Nazis for their "strong will" and "no sentiments". (see MORE).
3.JEWISH "HOLY WAR" AGAINST CHRISTIAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURE
The State of Israel has innumerous anti-Christian, anti-European, anti-Western and anti-capitalist laws and practices. A permanent anti-Christian propaganda presents on all levels of political and everyday life in Israel, and became a part of education, ideology, rules and even laws in Israel. New anti missionary (anti-Christian) legislation goes even further, threatening to punish people for possession of a Christian Bible, a picture of a church, a Christmas Tree or a tape of Christian religious music. Classical pieces with a Christian background like passions or messes were almost completely washed out of the repertoire of the Israeli symphonic orchestras. Composers like R. Wagner or R. Schtraus were actually forbidden in Israel because of the ideological reasons. Christians are severely persecuted in Israel, by the state as well as by the crowd - and have no real police protection. Classical music, European literature, any aspect of European culture became hardly accessible in Israel. The Israeli government initiated a grotesque and barbaric project to destroy all European architecture on Israel's territory. They destroyed and continue destroying old cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other urban centers, where European architectural styles like Bauhaus, Ugendstill, neo-gothic, etc. were dominated or at least highly presented. There are legislation to forbid Christians and "assimilated" ("Russians") to reside in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities. Israeli solders were entering Armenian, Arab, and other churches - and used to open fire "to kill Christians". Israeli government is stalking Muslim and Christian communities by giving licenses to build new mosques beside the churches. Israeli official ideology prefers tolerance towards Islam, but not Christianity. Israel is ruled by so-called Jewish religious laws, a kind of an "iron curtain", which stops any information about the outside world, European culture, Christian traditions, values and historical background. Israeli political and religious circles are encouraging the puppet Palestinian authority to persecute Christians, close Christian churches and make access for holy Christian objects in Palestine difficult for Christian pilgrims. Christians are victims of various assaults in Israel. Israeli propaganda associates Christians with guilt, crimes, and evil. Ideology highly controls all sides of the social life in Israel, allowing "public watchdogs" monitoring what people eat, what they buy, what they read or cook. In Israel you can not open a restaurant, a store or another busyness without the meeting the requirement of the Jewish religion, what means that Christians are discriminated in theirs basic rights. Jewish Extremists are hypocrites when they talk about anti-Semitism because they know very well that Christians and other minorities are discriminated and persecuted in Israel. (see MORE)
4. SMALL RUSSIAN "HOLOCAUST" IN MODERN ISRAEL
Since 1960-s Israeli propaganda machine, Israeli embassy in Moscow,
Sochnut and intelligent services began to provoke Soviet citizens to
immigrate to Israel. Most of the Russian-speaking people were persecuted
and discriminated in Israel even by then. However, close to 1990-s this
tendency has developed in a real "small genocide". In the 1980-s 1990-s
almost 700 thousands people from USSR (and - later - post USSR) were
smartly pushed to Israel by deception, provocation, sometimes by force.
Israelis had plans to turn most of them into servants and slaves to
replace Arabs, who became too dangerous for "sabras" and "vatikim".
"Russians" were deprived of any social or translation assistance. Sochnut
and the Ministry of Absorption (Immigration) only pretended to provide
some assistance, in reality not giving any. "Russian" puppet organizations
like Sharansky's Zionist Forum, etc. were founded by the Israeli government
and provided no real help either. New "Russian" immigrants were left
one on one with the housing agents (mediators) or landlords, employers,
etc. Most of them became victims of indescribable frauds and cheating.
"Russian" immigrants were deprived of real welfare or financial assistance.
They were forced to pay $500 - 600 a months for 2-3 - room neglected,
non renovated apartments, and deprived of the social houses. When hundreds
of thousands of the government-subsidized fresh-constructed apartments
stood empty, thousands of "Russian" families found themselves on the
verge of evictions or homeless in the streets. Under International, Jewish
Diaspora's and internal criticism the Israeli government in a stubborn
intention not to give "Russians" social houses started to import astronomically
expensive one-room caravans, which price was higher then a construction
of a conventional apartment. Caravan villages, intentionally placed
in wilderness, far from cities, with no schools, cultural facilities
or clubs, surrounded by barbed wires like prisons, intentionally populated
not only by "Russians" but also by Hebrew speaking criminals, declassed
social elements, drug-users, alcoholics, and by new arrivals from underdeveloped
African countries, became artificially-created first "Russian" ghettoes.
At summer caravans inhabitants suffered from unbearable heat, at winter
- from cold. Each caravan was an overcrowded, miserable tiny place,
never designed as a habitation. Caravan villages were dirty, devastated
cloaks, where generations of undereducated, non cultural, futureless
"Russian" kids were raised. Arik SHARON, by then - Minister of Construction,
- was mostly responsible for that. Israeli media and state propaganda
was rousing hatred towards Russian speaking people by portraying them
as enemies, alcoholics, undeveloped, wild people. Crimes against "Russians"
like assaults, batteries, insults, rapes, fraud, racism, discrimination,
expropriation of property or vandalism against property, lawfulness
illegal evictions, and many others, were never stopped or prosecuted. "Russians"
had no police protection. "Russian" children were discriminated, abused,
beaten, killed at schools or even pre-schools, tens of thousands of
"Russian" women have been raped, "Russian" workers were not paid at
all or paid less then the minimum wage, abused, beaten, and injured
at work. Two sections of Israeli law - "Kablanut" and "Kviyut" codes
- enabled to turn many "Russians" into temporary or permanent slaves.
What we see today as assaults on Arabs was in 1990-s "rehearsed" on
"Russians". Because there were no labor norms of exploiting "kablan"-hired
unprotected "Russians", thousands and thousands were injured, killed,
or became handicapped at work. Assaults on "Russians" and rapes of Russian
speaking women became a kind of a sport for Hebrew speaking neighbors,
employers, or supervisors, and the policemen. No killer or rapist was
never prosecuted! The main excuse for crimes against the Russian speaking
people in Israel was that Russians are hidden Christians. "Russians"
were forced to leave biggest Israeli cities, new legislation to restrict
them from residing in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv. They were moved
to "developing" cities with no work and law life standards like Afula,
Ashdod, Kiriat-Gat, Dimona, Beer-Sheva, etc. There artificial secondary
(after caravans) "Russian" ghettos were created, where new generations
of "Russians" are raised in poverty, discrimination, futureless and forced
to the criminal sphere of life. Hundreds of thousands of "Russians"
fled Israel. Israeli government and the local Jewish organizations like
Bnei Brith are responsible for persecuting these people in Canada, USA,
and Europe, influencing or invading immigration institutions in many
countries to force them back to Israel. (see More)

5. PROVOKING ANTISEMITISM
Let's imagine that lobbies of nation X around the world
made any discussions about X-ish genocide forbidden, and this is when
the leaders of X-s continue benefiting from enormous compensation almost
a century after the genocide. Using historically inevitable from time
to time unfriendly tendencies towards just any minority as an excuse,
nation's X leaders are using excessive force against any manifestation
of such unfriendly attitude or even what they wrongly interpreting as
"unfriendly". Consequently denouncing bloody crimes against
humanity of the regime of the State of X and local X-s councils (organizations)
in Diaspora is called "xenophobia". Anybody, who raised deep
questions about the human rights situation in the State of X and within
local X-s communities, is severely persecuted. Naturally, such a policy
would provoke spontaneous anti-X-ers feelings, and the denial of X-ish
genocide as the most natural automatic reaction. In the same way simple
as not very simple people will always test extremes of the "Jewish
power"; and "Jewish conspiracy" by denying Holocaust and
watching an expected Jewish excessive force in return. Blocking any
civilized discussion about any topic directly or indirectly involving
Jews (on historical, philosophical, ethical, religious level), Jewish
extremists will face more and more dangerous for innocent ordinary Jews
response on the primitive level. Jewish extremist organizations and
the government of Israel do not care about safety and wealth of ordinary
Jews. They represent a mighty totalitarian power, which exist in no
one interests. Only a small group of bastards benefits from this power.
This power became a modern inquisition, one of the modern Evils. However,
only one of Them. Communist regimes, eastern dictatorships, Indian-type
"democracies" (Israel is just one of them), anti-European
regimes like Pakistan, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc.
they are the same. We (people who consider themselves as Europeans,
no matter what skin color or face they have) must understand who are
enemies and who are friends of Europe. We have already our culture half
destroyed, our leaders corrupted by the Eastern powers, our countries
in Northern hemisphere (plus Australia) have been already transformed
into a "transitional" (remember: Eastern block, Western
block?) between capitalism (democracy) - and Eastern-type tyranny-slavery.
Since 1980-s, by eliminating civil freedoms and privacy, Western governments
slowly but inevitably transforming their countries into societies of
the eastern type. Jewish extremism is an important player in this process
of blowing up the European civilization from within. Jewish extremists
are traditionally anti-democratic reactionaries, who's goals are to destroy
democracy and progressive thinking everywhere. Their doctrine is to
take just any rights from the people, turn majority into slaves, and
eliminate basic human rights and freedoms. Their main allay is not USA
or Canada - as most of us are thinking - but UK. How comes that Israel,
a country, where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became
the most important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the
most brutal regimes in the world - like India, Israel, Pakistan, or
Kazakstan, were called democracies? Why and by whom Saudi Arabia, Bahrain,
South Korea, Kazahstan, Israel and other countries with hatred to European
culture and anti-European propaganda were considered as allays - and
Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, or Serbia - not? Tyranny, starvation, exploitation
of children, numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness
in Iraq, Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower
then in "great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number
of people are treated like cattle. How comes that Israel, a country,
where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became the most
important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the most brutal
regimes in the world - like India, Israel, Pakistan, or Kazakstan, were
called democracies? Why and by whom Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, South Korea,
Kazahstan, Israel and other countries with hatred to European culture

numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness in Iraq,
Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower then in
"great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number of people
are treated like cattle. Instead of supporting nations, which are historically,
traditionally, culturally closer to Europeans, our rulers, corrupted
or threatened by the Eastern regimes like Israel, are supporting our
most furious enemies. Support, which is given to the Jewish Extremists
by the governments of the Western world, is not popular. People are
not supporting it. Sooner or later this situation will resolve in pogroms
and insults against the ordinary Jews. We all must be awaken before
it not too late...

Preface
On 23 Oct 1994, CBS television broadcast a twelve-minute segment on its weekly
investigative-journalism show 60 Minutes titled The Ugly Face of Freedom, produced by Jeffrey
Fager and hosted by Morley Safer. The program's goal was to indict Ukrainian society and
history and to discredit the legitimacy of the Ukrainian State. The program's method was to
pack the broadcast with what may be the most concentrated segment of disinformation, calumny,
and hatred ever to make its appearance in the mainstream media. The program had been ready for
over half a year, but was not broadcast until the first official visit to the United States of
Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. Whether this timing was by coincidence or design became the
subject of comment among some program viewers.
From the beginning of the affair, it could not escape notice that this broadcast was not only an
attack upon Ukrainians and upon the nation of Ukraine, but that it was a Jewish attack, this
because every last person bearing responsibility for the broadcast, from the very top of the
chain of command to the very bottom, was Jewish:
Laurence Tisch, Chairman and CEO of CBS
Eric Ober, President of CBS News
Don Hewitt, Executive Producer of 60 Minutes
Jeffrey Fager, Producer of The Ugly Face of Freedom
Morley Safer, Program Host
Simon Wiesenthal, one of the two featured program witnesses
Yaakov Bleich, the other of the two featured program witnesses
That attacks upon Ukraine come overwhelmingly from Jews has been amply documented on the
Ukrainian Archive (UKAR), as for example in the discussion of Jerzy Kosinski, where it is noted
that ten out of ten of the leading calumniators of Ukraine are Jews. Possible reasons for this
phenomenon have been discussed throughout UKAR, with three of the chief reasons being: (1) the
acceleration of the brain drain from Ukraine to Israel with the help of a partly-magnified and
partly-incited resentment against Jews, (2) the heightening of Jewish cohesion through the
inculcation of fear and hatred of Gentiles, as by the Jewish keeping alive of a distorted memory
of the Khmelnytsky rebellion of 1648, and (3) the need to discredit the historical observation
that Jews typically victimize Ukrainians by inculcating the opposite image of Ukrainians
victimizing Jews.
On 15 Nov 1994, I mailed a letter to then CBS Chairman Laurence A. Tisch which consisted of a
lengthy critique of the 60 Minutes broadcast. I simultaneously mailed copies of this letter to
the host of the broadcast, Morley Safer, as well as the co-hosts Ed Bradley, Steve Kroft, Lesley
Stahl, and Mike Wallace. I received no reply from any of them. On 17 Dec 1994, I mailed a
covering letter to Laurence Tisch together with an expanded version of my critique (the critique
was now titled The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, and was dated 11 Dec 1994), with copies to the same
host and co-hosts. I again received no reply.
In an attempt to clarify the accuracy of the 60 Minutes broadcast, other letters were sent,
among them letters to Michael Jordan, Chairman of Westinghouse, following the Westinghouse
purchase of CBS in 1995, letters to Simon Wiesenthal, star witness on The Ugly Face of Freedom,
and letters to Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, supporting witness on the same program. Nor were my letters
the only ones sent - in fact, CBS received some 16,000 pieces of mail protesting the 60 Minutes
broadcast. To my knowledge, not a single one of these letters has ever been answered, or even
acknowledged, the muteness of CBS and others involved leaving the impression that they are
unable to muster any defense for the 60 Minutes broadcast.
At that time, and since, I have circulated copies of my critique widely, and have received many
favorable comments. In a small number of instances, I was grateful for helpful suggestions as
to minor revisions; however, no one challenged any of my major criticisms or arguments,
encouraging me to believe that these were fundamentally correct.
Below you will find the latest version of this same critique, substantially longer and more
detailed than the original, but basically offering no more than an elaboration of the material
already long in the hands of CBS. I will not again waste postage mailing this critique to CBS
with the advent of the internet, there are less costly ways to disseminate information; if CBS
wants to see this latest version, it will have no trouble finding it.
The defects of the 60 Minutes broadcast as so multifarious, that it is difficult to capture them
in one brief statement. If one were to attempt to do so, then the statement might mention that
60 Minutes misrepresented the historical record, provided mistranslations of statements
originally made in Ukrainian, suppressed pertinent information concerning Ukrainian-Jewish
relations during World War II, encouraged retrogressive notions of collective guilt, altered the
dates on which events were supposed to have occurred, doctored the sound track, accepted dubious
and implausible statements from sources whose credibility had not been established or whose
credibility should have been suspect, and generally in numerous instances employed questionable
evidence to point to conclusions that were untrue, provocative, and inflammatory. There follows
below an outline of the chief defects of this 60 Minutes broadcast.

The Galicia Division
60 Minutes' chief piece of evidence for Ukrainian anti-Semitism and predilection for Naziism
seems to be the official celebrations commemorating the Galicia Division. Elderly men in
civilian dress are shown wearing military insignia in a recent reunion in the city of Lviv,
Ukraine (Lvov in Russian, Lwow in Polish, formerly Lemberg). Mr. Safer informs us that
"Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for Naziism," and that "Nowhere,
not even in Germany, are the SS so openly celebrated," and that "Many of the Ukrainian men of
Lvov who marched off as members of the SS never returned - killed fighting for Hitler."
The impression created in the viewer's mind is that these veterans are unanimously guilty of war
crimes and crimes against humanity, that they were once supporters of and now continue to be
admirers of Hitler, that they sympathized with Nazi ambitions during World War II, that they are
the remnants of a much larger group of Ukrainians who shared a similar orientation, and that as
their reunion was sanctioned by the Lviv City Council and the Ukrainian Catholic Church, similar
charges must apply to Ukrainians generally. To all this, however, I must echo Cardinal
Lubachivsky's words: "It is not true!"
The Galicia Division was recruited by the Germans only well into the war, in the summer and fall
of 1943 when they were beginning to experience setbacks on their Eastern front. That the
Galicia Division was considered an "SS" division does not bear the significance given it by 60
Minutes - it was a Waffen SS division, which is quite a different thing: "Like other German
volunteer units, the Division Halychyna [Galicia] was included in the 14th Grenadier Division of
the SS-Waffen." (Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopaedia, Volume 2, p. 1088.)
Five qualities of the Galicia Division make it a most atypical component of the stereotype of
the SS: (1) it was strictly a combat unit and so played no role in the management of
concentration camps or death camps, (2) its Ukrainian members wore a lion rampant instead of an
"SS" on their right collars during most of the life of the division, (3) it was accompanied by
Ukrainian chaplains who attended to the spiritual needs of the troops, (4) it was kept separate
from other German forces, and (5) it was created with the proviso that it never be used against
the Western Allies, but only against Soviet forces on the Eastern front. These five qualities
alone render the Galicia Division an entity unlike any that was being conjured up in the minds
of 60 Minutes viewers.
Photographs contrasting different insignia of
German and Ukrainian members of the Galicia
Division
Of course the members of any military unit will be required to swear oaths of obedience to the
Commander-in-Chief. No fighting force can function without such an oath, and the members of the
Galicia Division were unable to avoid swearing one. However, compare the differences in the
German SS oath and the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath:
German SS Oath
"I swear to you Adolf Hitler, as Leader and Chancellor of the Reich, loyalty
and valor. I vow to you and all those you place over me obedience until
death, so help me God."
Ukrainian Waffen-SS Oath
"I swear by God this holy oath, that in the struggle against Bolshevism I will
give the Commander-in-Chief of the German Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler, absolute
obedience, and if it be his will, as a fearless soldier, I will always be
prepared to lay down my life for this oath." (Richard Landwehr, Fighting for
Freedom: The Ukrainian Volunteer Division of the Waffen-SS, Bibliophile Legion
Books, Silver Spring, Maryland, 1985, p. 45)
Here are three revealing differences between the above oaths: (1) The German SS oath swears to
Adolf Hitler who happens to be leader, whereas the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath swears to the leader
who happens to be Adolf Hitler. (2) The German SS oath does not restrict the Germans to any
limited role, but the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath does restrict the Ukrainian role to the "struggle
against Bolshevism." (3) In the words "obedience until death," the German SS oath appears to
imply obedience for the rest of one's life, whereas the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath limits the
duration of the obedience to the period of service "as a fearless soldier." These are not
insignificant differences - they constitute an affirmation that the Ukrainians had their own
goals, and that these overlapped with German goals only on the matter of opposing the Soviet
re-occupation of Ukraine. For the Ukrainians to have won an even greater variance from the
fundamental German SS oath would have been for the Germans to accept into their armed forces
members who were openly declaring recalcitrance and insubordination.
The Ukrainian motivation for permitting the formation of the Galicia Division was threefold: (1)
the existence of the division would serve to improve German treatment of Ukrainians in the
occupied territories, (2) the Division would form the nucleus of a national army which might
promote Ukrainian aspirations to statehood, and (3) the Division would be thrown into the fight
to oppose the Soviet re-occupation of Ukraine.
Even though both Canada and the U.S. have Nazi-hunting units within their respective Justice
Departments, not a single member of the Division has ever been convicted of any war crime and
none has ever been charged. The absence of evidence of any wrongdoing not only of the Division
as a whole, but also of any member of the Division, during his membership in the Division or
before or after, is widely recognized. Judge Jules Deschenes, heading Canada's Commission of
Inquiry on War Criminals, concluded that:
The members of the Galicia Division were individually screened for security
purposes before admission to Canada. Charges of war crimes against members of
the Galicia Division have never been substantiated, neither in 1950 when they
were first preferred, nor in 1984 when they were renewed, nor before this
Commission. ... In the absence of evidence of participation in or knowledge of
specific war crimes, mere membership in the Galicia Division is insufficient to
justify prosecution. (Jules Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals,
1986, p. 12)
Judge Deschenes cites a 1947 report of a British Screening Commission which was filed just prior
to the Galicia Division being moved from Italy to Britain (note that these are the words of the
1947 British Screening Commission, not of Judge Deschenes):
They probably were not, and certainly do not now seem to be at heart
pro-German, and the fact that they did give aid and comfort to the Germans can
fairly be considered to have been incidental and not fundamental. (in Jules
Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 253)
A 1950 British Foreign Office report to the Canadian Department of External Affairs concerning
the Galicia Division was also cited by Judge Deschenes (note that these are the words of the
1950 British Foreign Office, not of Judge Deschenes):
While in Italy these men were screened by Soviet and British missions and
neither then nor subsequently has any evidence been brought to light which
would suggest that any of them fought against the Western Allies or engaged in
crimes against humanity. Their behaviour since they came to this country has
been good and they have never indicated in any way that they are infected with
any trace of Nazi ideology. ... From the reports of the special mission set
up by the War Office to screen these men, it seems clear that they volunteered
to fight against the Red Army from nationalistic motives which were given
greater impetus by the behaviour of the Soviet authorities during their earlier
occupation of the Western Ukraine after the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Although
Communist propaganda has constantly attempted to depict these, like so many
other refugees, as "quislings" and "war criminals" it is interesting to note
that no specific charges of war crimes have been made by the Soviet or any
other Government against any members of this group. (in Jules Deschenes,
Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 252)
Judge Deschenes concludes:
It is an acknowledged fact that the members of the Division were volunteers who
had enlisted in the spring and summer of 1943, essentially to combat the
"Bolsheviks"; indeed, they were never used against Western allies. (Jules
Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 255)
Although as we have just seen "no specific charges of war crimes have been made by the Soviet or
any other Government against any members of this group," Mr. Safer ventures to do what no one
has done before - where angels fear to tread, Mr. Safer rushes in to lay a specific crime at the
feet of the Galicia Division:
SAFER: Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for
Naziism. In the process, they helped round up Lvov's Jews, helped march more
than 140,000 of them to extinction - virtually every Jew in Lvov.
However, the rounding up of Lviv's Jews was begun in 1941 and was largely completed in 1942, so
that by 1943 when the Galicia Division was formed, there were not 140,000 Jews left in Lviv to
round up. In truth, the Galicia Division never participated in the rounding up of Jews in Lviv
or anywhere else. To repeat: the Galicia Division was a combat unit. More particularly, the
Galicia Division saw action on only a single occasion - in facing the Soviets in the Battle of
Brody in July 1944.
Talk of the Galicia Division Induces Paralysis of the Comparative Function
The broad topic of "Paralysis of the Comparative Function" is discussed within its own larger
section below, but such a paralysis becomes evident in other places throughout this essay, as
for example in discussions of the Galicia Division. In such discussions, the comparison - the
elementary and obvious comparison - that is not made is that between the Ukrainian contribution
to German armed forces of Waffen SS troops and the similar contribution made by other peoples.
Below, I reproduce a quote from an interview by Slavko Nowytski of Professor Norman Davies,
historian at the University of London, and author of the recent Europe: A History, published by
Oxford University Press:
In discussing the question of collaborating with Germany Prof. Davies noted
that, "A large number of the volunteers for the Waffen SS came from Western
Europe. The nation which supplied it the largest number of divisions was the
Netherlands [four]. There were two Belgian divisions, there was a French
Waffen SS. To my mind, it's rather surprising that Ukraine, which is a much
larger country [than the Netherlands or Belgium] supplied only one Waffen SS
Division.... It's surprising that there were so few Ukrainians [in the German
Army]. Many people don't know, for example, that there were far more Russians
fighting alongside the Wehrmacht or in the various German armies than there
were Ukrainians.... Thanks to Soviet propaganda, the Russian contribution to
the Nazi war effort has been forgotten, whereas the Ukrainian contribution has
been remembered, I think, too strongly." (Andrew Gregorovich, Forum, No. 95,
Spring, 1997, p. 34)
And so the information in the above quotation leads to several questions:
(1) As the population of The Netherlands is small, and as The Netherlands contributed the
largest number of Waffen SS divisions, this gives The Netherlands the largest per capita
contribution to the Waffen SS of any country. Would Mr. Safer conclude from this that the
people of The Netherlands are the most anti-Semitic in the world? And following the same line
of reasoning, would he conclude that the people of Belgium are the next most anti-Semitic? And
also that as the population of France is approximately equal to the population of Ukraine, and
as each of these contributed one Waffen SS division, that the French are approximately as
anti-Semitic as the Ukrainians?
(2) As Mr. Safer attacks the former members of the Galicia Division as war criminals, I wonder
why he does not attack former members of The Netherlands, Belgium, and French Waffen SS
divisions in the same way? Why does he single out the Galicia Division? How is the Galicia
Division different from the other Waffen SS divisions?
(3) If in comparison to several other countries, Ukraine contributed proportionately fewer
numbers to the Waffen SS, or to any of the German armed forces, then why didn't Mr. Safer
commend Ukrainians for their relatively small contribution to the German war effort?
(4) It would have been instructive of Mr. Safer to inform 60 Minutes viewers whether the Waffen
SS divisions of other countries were created under the same proviso that they not be used
against the Western Allies, but only against the Soviets on the Eastern Front? Perhaps
Ukrainians are to be commended again for limiting the role that their Waffen SS troops played
within the German military.
(5) Finally, given that Canada's Deschenes Commission on War Criminals failed to identify even a
single member of the Galicia Division as calling for further investigation; and given that not a
single member of the Division has ever been convicted of any crime, or even tried for any crime;
and, most importantly, given that nobody has ever specified any crime of which the Galicia
Division as a whole, or any member of the Galicia Division, might have been guilty - given all
this, it would have been instructive of Mr. Safer to inform 60 Minutes viewers whether the
Waffen SS divisions of The Netherlands, Belgium, and France have proven to be as free from blame
as has the Ukrainian Galicia Division.
Why Did Himmler Want a Waffen SS?
If the Wehrmacht was the combat arm of the German forces, and Himmler's SS was dedicated to
running the concentration camps, then why were there combat units within the SS? Why weren't
non-German combat units such as the Galicia Division considered to be part of the Wehrmacht
rather than part of the SS? The suspicion in the mind of the impartial observer might readily
be that any unit that was considered part of the SS may in fact have performed some duties that
were uniquely SS, and thus was more likely to be guilty of war crimes than a Wehrmacht unit.
Jewish organization like Anti-Defamation Ligue, Bnei Brith, so-called Institute
Against Terrorism, Jewish Congress and others are censoring any material about Israel, Judaism, Holocaust, Jewish criminal activity, human rights violations by Israel and Diaspora Jewish groups, etc. It not only violates basic principles of democracy and free speech, but also gives the world Jewish extremists the total control over media and - indirectly governments of independent countries like USA, Canada, and others. Through an excuse of fighting anti-Semitism Jewish extremists actually controlling vide range of topics, practically any one, not only historical or political, but also cultural, religious, and any other. In many ways they for example suppressed and forbidden Christianity. There are no Christian signs, symbolic, ads, announcements, placards etc. in Canadian cities any more. In the same time there are lots of open Judaism propaganda and missionary placards, signs, ads, etc.
By forcing Immigration of the variety of countries to prevent people, whose ideas they don't tolerate, from traveling, or to persecute dissidents, Jewish extremists are executing functions of sovereign governments. In Canada they completely seized the control over Immigration Canada, which became a Jewish institution, and this institution is getting more and more power, replacing the government. In reality they control many of the governmental institutions. Little by little we became citizens of a new totalitarian colonial Jewish Empire, which is constantly expanding and already includes Canada, US, and a number of European countries.
Like any totalitarian colonial power Jewish Extremism is using (against dissidents) legal or conspiratory persecutions, lawsuits, administrative pressure, batteries, imprisonment, devastation of their victims' social, professional, or economic status. Jewish persecutors act very much as the "KGB of the modern western world". (MORE).
2. HOLOCAUST DENIERS PERSECUTION: WHO's AMORAL?
The whole military, political, police, intelligence and public machine of the State of Israel and the powerful Jewish lobbies is used not only against people who deny Jewish genocide of 1930-s-40-s, but against those who would like to discuss the correctness of numbers, facts, or attitude towards the history. Amorality of the Jewish "morality defenders" is first of all their conflict of interests. For the Jewish extremists Holocaust became a busyness, a carnage of vicious vultures on top of millions of dead. They are making a fantastic income on the bones of Auschwiz or Maidanek victims. Jewish writer and human rights activist Gregory SVIRSKY called this carnage the most amoral thing in Jewish history. The next amoral thing is that not the victims of Holocaust and their descendants are benefiting from the fantastic compensation provided by the Western world to the global Jewish community, but mostly Israeli government and the extremist Jewish organizations. There are thousands of financial violations in the process of transferring the contributed money from the Israeli government and "committees" to ordinary people. Here is just a small example. Elisabetha EPSTEIN (Montreal) was issued the German compensation as a person who flied from the German occupation zone. This compensation was frozen by the Israeli authorities because she was the mother of a dissident and a refugee claimant from Israel in Canada. Money, which she had to receive, was consumed by the Israeli government!
The State of Israel has no moral rights to be a representative of the former genocide (Holocaust) victims also because the Israeli regime itself is guilty in Palestinian and Russian genocide (see MORE).
Israel as a successor of the Jewish North American and Zionist Jewish politicians of the 1930-s must pay a huge contribution to the victims of Holocaust and their descendants because shares responsibility for the genocide of European Jews. Since the 30-s there was a tendency to wish elimination of European Ashkenazi Jews. North American Jews, Zionists and some Sephardic leaders treated European Jews as degraded and wanted them out of the picture. Zionist leaders did not hide their sympathy to the Nazis because they both ideologically were national socialists. Contacts between Palestinian Jewish "Ishuv" leaders - and the top nazi leaders, and between Zionist - and German leadership in 1930-s-40-s is a well-known historical fact. Actually, Zionists were fought on the German side, against Britain. Notes of loyalty of the Ishuv to German Nazis were also well known. By racism, hatred between different ethnical and sub ethnical groups, fascist ideology and nazi laws Israel is a sole political successor of the Nazi Germany. Zionist leaders did not care to hide their joy about the elimination of the "assimilated" European Jews and the conviction that the Zionist homeland must be rebuild, based on the Catastrophe of European Jews. Israeli orthodox religious leaders pointed many times that European Jews were "punished" by genocide "because of assimilation". Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" was translated to Hebrew and became the most popular among "sabras" (Israel-born natives) youths book. Watching movies like the "List of Schindler", young Israeli neo-nazis are applauding the fascist murderers because they adore Nazis for their "strong will" and "no sentiments". (see MORE).
3.JEWISH "HOLY WAR" AGAINST CHRISTIAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURE
The State of Israel has innumerous anti-Christian, anti-European, anti-Western and anti-capitalist laws and practices. A permanent anti-Christian propaganda presents on all levels of political and everyday life in Israel, and became a part of education, ideology, rules and even laws in Israel. New anti missionary (anti-Christian) legislation goes even further, threatening to punish people for possession of a Christian Bible, a picture of a church, a Christmas Tree or a tape of Christian religious music. Classical pieces with a Christian background like passions or messes were almost completely washed out of the repertoire of the Israeli symphonic orchestras. Composers like R. Wagner or R. Schtraus were actually forbidden in Israel because of the ideological reasons. Christians are severely persecuted in Israel, by the state as well as by the crowd - and have no real police protection. Classical music, European literature, any aspect of European culture became hardly accessible in Israel. The Israeli government initiated a grotesque and barbaric project to destroy all European architecture on Israel's territory. They destroyed and continue destroying old cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other urban centers, where European architectural styles like Bauhaus, Ugendstill, neo-gothic, etc. were dominated or at least highly presented. There are legislation to forbid Christians and "assimilated" ("Russians") to reside in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities. Israeli solders were entering Armenian, Arab, and other churches - and used to open fire "to kill Christians". Israeli government is stalking Muslim and Christian communities by giving licenses to build new mosques beside the churches. Israeli official ideology prefers tolerance towards Islam, but not Christianity. Israel is ruled by so-called Jewish religious laws, a kind of an "iron curtain", which stops any information about the outside world, European culture, Christian traditions, values and historical background. Israeli political and religious circles are encouraging the puppet Palestinian authority to persecute Christians, close Christian churches and make access for holy Christian objects in Palestine difficult for Christian pilgrims. Christians are victims of various assaults in Israel. Israeli propaganda associates Christians with guilt, crimes, and evil. Ideology highly controls all sides of the social life in Israel, allowing "public watchdogs" monitoring what people eat, what they buy, what they read or cook. In Israel you can not open a restaurant, a store or another busyness without the meeting the requirement of the Jewish religion, what means that Christians are discriminated in theirs basic rights. Jewish Extremists are hypocrites when they talk about anti-Semitism because they know very well that Christians and other minorities are discriminated and persecuted in Israel. (see MORE)
4. SMALL RUSSIAN "HOLOCAUST" IN MODERN ISRAEL
Since 1960-s Israeli propaganda machine, Israeli embassy in Moscow,
Sochnut and intelligent services began to provoke Soviet citizens to
immigrate to Israel. Most of the Russian-speaking people were persecuted
and discriminated in Israel even by then. However, close to 1990-s this
tendency has developed in a real "small genocide". In the 1980-s 1990-s
almost 700 thousands people from USSR (and - later - post USSR) were
smartly pushed to Israel by deception, provocation, sometimes by force.
Israelis had plans to turn most of them into servants and slaves to
replace Arabs, who became too dangerous for "sabras" and "vatikim".
"Russians" were deprived of any social or translation assistance. Sochnut
and the Ministry of Absorption (Immigration) only pretended to provide
some assistance, in reality not giving any. "Russian" puppet organizations
like Sharansky's Zionist Forum, etc. were founded by the Israeli government
and provided no real help either. New "Russian" immigrants were left
one on one with the housing agents (mediators) or landlords, employers,
etc. Most of them became victims of indescribable frauds and cheating.
"Russian" immigrants were deprived of real welfare or financial assistance.
They were forced to pay $500 - 600 a months for 2-3 - room neglected,
non renovated apartments, and deprived of the social houses. When hundreds
of thousands of the government-subsidized fresh-constructed apartments
stood empty, thousands of "Russian" families found themselves on the
verge of evictions or homeless in the streets. Under International, Jewish
Diaspora's and internal criticism the Israeli government in a stubborn
intention not to give "Russians" social houses started to import astronomically
expensive one-room caravans, which price was higher then a construction
of a conventional apartment. Caravan villages, intentionally placed
in wilderness, far from cities, with no schools, cultural facilities
or clubs, surrounded by barbed wires like prisons, intentionally populated
not only by "Russians" but also by Hebrew speaking criminals, declassed
social elements, drug-users, alcoholics, and by new arrivals from underdeveloped
African countries, became artificially-created first "Russian" ghettoes.
At summer caravans inhabitants suffered from unbearable heat, at winter
- from cold. Each caravan was an overcrowded, miserable tiny place,
never designed as a habitation. Caravan villages were dirty, devastated
cloaks, where generations of undereducated, non cultural, futureless
"Russian" kids were raised. Arik SHARON, by then - Minister of Construction,
- was mostly responsible for that. Israeli media and state propaganda
was rousing hatred towards Russian speaking people by portraying them
as enemies, alcoholics, undeveloped, wild people. Crimes against "Russians"
like assaults, batteries, insults, rapes, fraud, racism, discrimination,
expropriation of property or vandalism against property, lawfulness
illegal evictions, and many others, were never stopped or prosecuted. "Russians"
had no police protection. "Russian" children were discriminated, abused,
beaten, killed at schools or even pre-schools, tens of thousands of
"Russian" women have been raped, "Russian" workers were not paid at
all or paid less then the minimum wage, abused, beaten, and injured
at work. Two sections of Israeli law - "Kablanut" and "Kviyut" codes
- enabled to turn many "Russians" into temporary or permanent slaves.
What we see today as assaults on Arabs was in 1990-s "rehearsed" on
"Russians". Because there were no labor norms of exploiting "kablan"-hired
unprotected "Russians", thousands and thousands were injured, killed,
or became handicapped at work. Assaults on "Russians" and rapes of Russian
speaking women became a kind of a sport for Hebrew speaking neighbors,
employers, or supervisors, and the policemen. No killer or rapist was
never prosecuted! The main excuse for crimes against the Russian speaking
people in Israel was that Russians are hidden Christians. "Russians"
were forced to leave biggest Israeli cities, new legislation to restrict
them from residing in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv. They were moved
to "developing" cities with no work and law life standards like Afula,
Ashdod, Kiriat-Gat, Dimona, Beer-Sheva, etc. There artificial secondary
(after caravans) "Russian" ghettos were created, where new generations
of "Russians" are raised in poverty, discrimination, futureless and forced
to the criminal sphere of life. Hundreds of thousands of "Russians"
fled Israel. Israeli government and the local Jewish organizations like
Bnei Brith are responsible for persecuting these people in Canada, USA,
and Europe, influencing or invading immigration institutions in many
countries to force them back to Israel. (see More)

5. PROVOKING ANTISEMITISM
Let's imagine that lobbies of nation X around the world
made any discussions about X-ish genocide forbidden, and this is when
the leaders of X-s continue benefiting from enormous compensation almost
a century after the genocide. Using historically inevitable from time
to time unfriendly tendencies towards just any minority as an excuse,
nation's X leaders are using excessive force against any manifestation
of such unfriendly attitude or even what they wrongly interpreting as
"unfriendly". Consequently denouncing bloody crimes against
humanity of the regime of the State of X and local X-s councils (organizations)
in Diaspora is called "xenophobia". Anybody, who raised deep
questions about the human rights situation in the State of X and within
local X-s communities, is severely persecuted. Naturally, such a policy
would provoke spontaneous anti-X-ers feelings, and the denial of X-ish
genocide as the most natural automatic reaction. In the same way simple
as not very simple people will always test extremes of the "Jewish
power"; and "Jewish conspiracy" by denying Holocaust and
watching an expected Jewish excessive force in return. Blocking any
civilized discussion about any topic directly or indirectly involving
Jews (on historical, philosophical, ethical, religious level), Jewish
extremists will face more and more dangerous for innocent ordinary Jews
response on the primitive level. Jewish extremist organizations and
the government of Israel do not care about safety and wealth of ordinary
Jews. They represent a mighty totalitarian power, which exist in no
one interests. Only a small group of bastards benefits from this power.
This power became a modern inquisition, one of the modern Evils. However,
only one of Them. Communist regimes, eastern dictatorships, Indian-type
"democracies" (Israel is just one of them), anti-European
regimes like Pakistan, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc.
they are the same. We (people who consider themselves as Europeans,
no matter what skin color or face they have) must understand who are
enemies and who are friends of Europe. We have already our culture half
destroyed, our leaders corrupted by the Eastern powers, our countries
in Northern hemisphere (plus Australia) have been already transformed
into a "transitional" (remember: Eastern block, Western
block?) between capitalism (democracy) - and Eastern-type tyranny-slavery.
Since 1980-s, by eliminating civil freedoms and privacy, Western governments
slowly but inevitably transforming their countries into societies of
the eastern type. Jewish extremism is an important player in this process
of blowing up the European civilization from within. Jewish extremists
are traditionally anti-democratic reactionaries, who's goals are to destroy
democracy and progressive thinking everywhere. Their doctrine is to
take just any rights from the people, turn majority into slaves, and
eliminate basic human rights and freedoms. Their main allay is not USA
or Canada - as most of us are thinking - but UK. How comes that Israel,
a country, where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became
the most important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the
most brutal regimes in the world - like India, Israel, Pakistan, or
Kazakstan, were called democracies? Why and by whom Saudi Arabia, Bahrain,
South Korea, Kazahstan, Israel and other countries with hatred to European
culture and anti-European propaganda were considered as allays - and
Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, or Serbia - not? Tyranny, starvation, exploitation
of children, numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness
in Iraq, Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower
then in "great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number
of people are treated like cattle. How comes that Israel, a country,
where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became the most
important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the most brutal

numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness in Iraq,
Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower then in
"great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number of people
are treated like cattle. Instead of supporting nations, which are historically,
traditionally, culturally closer to Europeans, our rulers, corrupted
or threatened by the Eastern regimes like Israel, are supporting our
most furious enemies. Support, which is given to the Jewish Extremists
by the governments of the Western world, is not popular. People are
not supporting it. Sooner or later this situation will resolve in pogroms
and insults against the ordinary Jews. We all must be awaken before
it not too late...

Preface
On 23 Oct 1994, CBS television broadcast a twelve-minute segment on its weekly
investigative-journalism show 60 Minutes titled The Ugly Face of Freedom, produced by Jeffrey
Fager and hosted by Morley Safer. The program's goal was to indict Ukrainian society and
history and to discredit the legitimacy of the Ukrainian State. The program's method was to
pack the broadcast with what may be the most concentrated segment of disinformation, calumny,
and hatred ever to make its appearance in the mainstream media. The program had been ready for
over half a year, but was not broadcast until the first official visit to the United States of
Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. Whether this timing was by coincidence or design became the
subject of comment among some program viewers.
From the beginning of the affair, it could not escape notice that this broadcast was not only an
attack upon Ukrainians and upon the nation of Ukraine, but that it was a Jewish attack, this
because every last person bearing responsibility for the broadcast, from the very top of the
chain of command to the very bottom, was Jewish:
Laurence Tisch, Chairman and CEO of CBS
Eric Ober, President of CBS News
Don Hewitt, Executive Producer of 60 Minutes
Jeffrey Fager, Producer of The Ugly Face of Freedom
Morley Safer, Program Host
Simon Wiesenthal, one of the two featured program witnesses
Yaakov Bleich, the other of the two featured program witnesses
That attacks upon Ukraine come overwhelmingly from Jews has been amply documented on the
Ukrainian Archive (UKAR), as for example in the discussion of Jerzy Kosinski, where it is noted
that ten out of ten of the leading calumniators of Ukraine are Jews. Possible reasons for this
phenomenon have been discussed throughout UKAR, with three of the chief reasons being: (1) the
acceleration of the brain drain from Ukraine to Israel with the help of a partly-magnified and
partly-incited resentment against Jews, (2) the heightening of Jewish cohesion through the
inculcation of fear and hatred of Gentiles, as by the Jewish keeping alive of a distorted memory
of the Khmelnytsky rebellion of 1648, and (3) the need to discredit the historical observation
that Jews typically victimize Ukrainians by inculcating the opposite image of Ukrainians
victimizing Jews.
On 15 Nov 1994, I mailed a letter to then CBS Chairman Laurence A. Tisch which consisted of a
lengthy critique of the 60 Minutes broadcast. I simultaneously mailed copies of this letter to
the host of the broadcast, Morley Safer, as well as the co-hosts Ed Bradley, Steve Kroft, Lesley
Stahl, and Mike Wallace. I received no reply from any of them. On 17 Dec 1994, I mailed a
covering letter to Laurence Tisch together with an expanded version of my critique (the critique
was now titled The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, and was dated 11 Dec 1994), with copies to the same
host and co-hosts. I again received no reply.
In an attempt to clarify the accuracy of the 60 Minutes broadcast, other letters were sent,
among them letters to Michael Jordan, Chairman of Westinghouse, following the Westinghouse
purchase of CBS in 1995, letters to Simon Wiesenthal, star witness on The Ugly Face of Freedom,
and letters to Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, supporting witness on the same program. Nor were my letters
the only ones sent - in fact, CBS received some 16,000 pieces of mail protesting the 60 Minutes
broadcast. To my knowledge, not a single one of these letters has ever been answered, or even
acknowledged, the muteness of CBS and others involved leaving the impression that they are
unable to muster any defense for the 60 Minutes broadcast.
At that time, and since, I have circulated copies of my critique widely, and have received many
favorable comments. In a small number of instances, I was grateful for helpful suggestions as
to minor revisions; however, no one challenged any of my major criticisms or arguments,
encouraging me to believe that these were fundamentally correct.
Below you will find the latest version of this same critique, substantially longer and more
detailed than the original, but basically offering no more than an elaboration of the material
already long in the hands of CBS. I will not again waste postage mailing this critique to CBS
with the advent of the internet, there are less costly ways to disseminate information; if CBS
wants to see this latest version, it will have no trouble finding it.
The defects of the 60 Minutes broadcast as so multifarious, that it is difficult to capture them
in one brief statement. If one were to attempt to do so, then the statement might mention that
60 Minutes misrepresented the historical record, provided mistranslations of statements
originally made in Ukrainian, suppressed pertinent information concerning Ukrainian-Jewish
relations during World War II, encouraged retrogressive notions of collective guilt, altered the
dates on which events were supposed to have occurred, doctored the sound track, accepted dubious
and implausible statements from sources whose credibility had not been established or whose
credibility should have been suspect, and generally in numerous instances employed questionable
evidence to point to conclusions that were untrue, provocative, and inflammatory. There follows
below an outline of the chief defects of this 60 Minutes broadcast.

The Galicia Division
60 Minutes' chief piece of evidence for Ukrainian anti-Semitism and predilection for Naziism
seems to be the official celebrations commemorating the Galicia Division. Elderly men in
civilian dress are shown wearing military insignia in a recent reunion in the city of Lviv,
Ukraine (Lvov in Russian, Lwow in Polish, formerly Lemberg). Mr. Safer informs us that
"Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for Naziism," and that "Nowhere,
not even in Germany, are the SS so openly celebrated," and that "Many of the Ukrainian men of
Lvov who marched off as members of the SS never returned - killed fighting for Hitler."
The impression created in the viewer's mind is that these veterans are unanimously guilty of war
crimes and crimes against humanity, that they were once supporters of and now continue to be
admirers of Hitler, that they sympathized with Nazi ambitions during World War II, that they are
the remnants of a much larger group of Ukrainians who shared a similar orientation, and that as
their reunion was sanctioned by the Lviv City Council and the Ukrainian Catholic Church, similar
charges must apply to Ukrainians generally. To all this, however, I must echo Cardinal
Lubachivsky's words: "It is not true!"
The Galicia Division was recruited by the Germans only well into the war, in the summer and fall
of 1943 when they were beginning to experience setbacks on their Eastern front. That the
Galicia Division was considered an "SS" division does not bear the significance given it by 60
Minutes - it was a Waffen SS division, which is quite a different thing: "Like other German
volunteer units, the Division Halychyna [Galicia] was included in the 14th Grenadier Division of
the SS-Waffen." (Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopaedia, Volume 2, p. 1088.)
Five qualities of the Galicia Division make it a most atypical component of the stereotype of
the SS: (1) it was strictly a combat unit and so played no role in the management of
concentration camps or death camps, (2) its Ukrainian members wore a lion rampant instead of an
"SS" on their right collars during most of the life of the division, (3) it was accompanied by
Ukrainian chaplains who attended to the spiritual needs of the troops, (4) it was kept separate
from other German forces, and (5) it was created with the proviso that it never be used against
the Western Allies, but only against Soviet forces on the Eastern front. These five qualities
alone render the Galicia Division an entity unlike any that was being conjured up in the minds
of 60 Minutes viewers.

Of course the members of any military unit will be required to swear oaths of obedience to the
Commander-in-Chief. No fighting force can function without such an oath, and the members of the
Galicia Division were unable to avoid swearing one. However, compare the differences in the
German SS oath and the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath:
German SS Oath
"I swear to you Adolf Hitler, as Leader and Chancellor of the Reich, loyalty
and valor. I vow to you and all those you place over me obedience until
death, so help me God."
Ukrainian Waffen-SS Oath
"I swear by God this holy oath, that in the struggle against Bolshevism I will
give the Commander-in-Chief of the German Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler, absolute
obedience, and if it be his will, as a fearless soldier, I will always be
prepared to lay down my life for this oath." (Richard Landwehr, Fighting for
Freedom: The Ukrainian Volunteer Division of the Waffen-SS, Bibliophile Legion
Books, Silver Spring, Maryland, 1985, p. 45)
Here are three revealing differences between the above oaths: (1) The German SS oath swears to
Adolf Hitler who happens to be leader, whereas the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath swears to the leader
who happens to be Adolf Hitler. (2) The German SS oath does not restrict the Germans to any
limited role, but the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath does restrict the Ukrainian role to the "struggle
against Bolshevism." (3) In the words "obedience until death," the German SS oath appears to
imply obedience for the rest of one's life, whereas the Ukrainian Waffen-SS oath limits the
duration of the obedience to the period of service "as a fearless soldier." These are not
insignificant differences - they constitute an affirmation that the Ukrainians had their own
goals, and that these overlapped with German goals only on the matter of opposing the Soviet
re-occupation of Ukraine. For the Ukrainians to have won an even greater variance from the
fundamental German SS oath would have been for the Germans to accept into their armed forces
members who were openly declaring recalcitrance and insubordination.
The Ukrainian motivation for permitting the formation of the Galicia Division was threefold: (1)
the existence of the division would serve to improve German treatment of Ukrainians in the
occupied territories, (2) the Division would form the nucleus of a national army which might
promote Ukrainian aspirations to statehood, and (3) the Division would be thrown into the fight
to oppose the Soviet re-occupation of Ukraine.
Even though both Canada and the U.S. have Nazi-hunting units within their respective Justice
Departments, not a single member of the Division has ever been convicted of any war crime and
none has ever been charged. The absence of evidence of any wrongdoing not only of the Division
as a whole, but also of any member of the Division, during his membership in the Division or
before or after, is widely recognized. Judge Jules Deschenes, heading Canada's Commission of
Inquiry on War Criminals, concluded that:
The members of the Galicia Division were individually screened for security
purposes before admission to Canada. Charges of war crimes against members of
the Galicia Division have never been substantiated, neither in 1950 when they
were first preferred, nor in 1984 when they were renewed, nor before this
Commission. ... In the absence of evidence of participation in or knowledge of
specific war crimes, mere membership in the Galicia Division is insufficient to
justify prosecution. (Jules Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals,
1986, p. 12)
Judge Deschenes cites a 1947 report of a British Screening Commission which was filed just prior
to the Galicia Division being moved from Italy to Britain (note that these are the words of the
1947 British Screening Commission, not of Judge Deschenes):
They probably were not, and certainly do not now seem to be at heart
pro-German, and the fact that they did give aid and comfort to the Germans can
fairly be considered to have been incidental and not fundamental. (in Jules
Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 253)
A 1950 British Foreign Office report to the Canadian Department of External Affairs concerning
the Galicia Division was also cited by Judge Deschenes (note that these are the words of the
1950 British Foreign Office, not of Judge Deschenes):
While in Italy these men were screened by Soviet and British missions and
neither then nor subsequently has any evidence been brought to light which
would suggest that any of them fought against the Western Allies or engaged in
crimes against humanity. Their behaviour since they came to this country has
been good and they have never indicated in any way that they are infected with
any trace of Nazi ideology. ... From the reports of the special mission set
up by the War Office to screen these men, it seems clear that they volunteered
to fight against the Red Army from nationalistic motives which were given
greater impetus by the behaviour of the Soviet authorities during their earlier
occupation of the Western Ukraine after the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Although
Communist propaganda has constantly attempted to depict these, like so many
other refugees, as "quislings" and "war criminals" it is interesting to note
that no specific charges of war crimes have been made by the Soviet or any
other Government against any members of this group. (in Jules Deschenes,
Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 252)
Judge Deschenes concludes:
It is an acknowledged fact that the members of the Division were volunteers who
had enlisted in the spring and summer of 1943, essentially to combat the
"Bolsheviks"; indeed, they were never used against Western allies. (Jules
Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 255)
Although as we have just seen "no specific charges of war crimes have been made by the Soviet or
any other Government against any members of this group," Mr. Safer ventures to do what no one
has done before - where angels fear to tread, Mr. Safer rushes in to lay a specific crime at the
feet of the Galicia Division:
SAFER: Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for
Naziism. In the process, they helped round up Lvov's Jews, helped march more
than 140,000 of them to extinction - virtually every Jew in Lvov.
However, the rounding up of Lviv's Jews was begun in 1941 and was largely completed in 1942, so
that by 1943 when the Galicia Division was formed, there were not 140,000 Jews left in Lviv to
round up. In truth, the Galicia Division never participated in the rounding up of Jews in Lviv
or anywhere else. To repeat: the Galicia Division was a combat unit. More particularly, the
Galicia Division saw action on only a single occasion - in facing the Soviets in the Battle of
Brody in July 1944.
Talk of the Galicia Division Induces Paralysis of the Comparative Function
The broad topic of "Paralysis of the Comparative Function" is discussed within its own larger
section below, but such a paralysis becomes evident in other places throughout this essay, as
for example in discussions of the Galicia Division. In such discussions, the comparison - the
elementary and obvious comparison - that is not made is that between the Ukrainian contribution
to German armed forces of Waffen SS troops and the similar contribution made by other peoples.
Below, I reproduce a quote from an interview by Slavko Nowytski of Professor Norman Davies,
historian at the University of London, and author of the recent Europe: A History, published by
Oxford University Press:
In discussing the question of collaborating with Germany Prof. Davies noted
that, "A large number of the volunteers for the Waffen SS came from Western
Europe. The nation which supplied it the largest number of divisions was the
Netherlands [four]. There were two Belgian divisions, there was a French
Waffen SS. To my mind, it's rather surprising that Ukraine, which is a much
larger country [than the Netherlands or Belgium] supplied only one Waffen SS
Division.... It's surprising that there were so few Ukrainians [in the German
Army]. Many people don't know, for example, that there were far more Russians
fighting alongside the Wehrmacht or in the various German armies than there
were Ukrainians.... Thanks to Soviet propaganda, the Russian contribution to
the Nazi war effort has been forgotten, whereas the Ukrainian contribution has
been remembered, I think, too strongly." (Andrew Gregorovich, Forum, No. 95,
Spring, 1997, p. 34)
And so the information in the above quotation leads to several questions:
(1) As the population of The Netherlands is small, and as The Netherlands contributed the
largest number of Waffen SS divisions, this gives The Netherlands the largest per capita
contribution to the Waffen SS of any country. Would Mr. Safer conclude from this that the
people of The Netherlands are the most anti-Semitic in the world? And following the same line
of reasoning, would he conclude that the people of Belgium are the next most anti-Semitic? And
also that as the population of France is approximately equal to the population of Ukraine, and
as each of these contributed one Waffen SS division, that the French are approximately as
anti-Semitic as the Ukrainians?
(2) As Mr. Safer attacks the former members of the Galicia Division as war criminals, I wonder
why he does not attack former members of The Netherlands, Belgium, and French Waffen SS
divisions in the same way? Why does he single out the Galicia Division? How is the Galicia
Division different from the other Waffen SS divisions?
(3) If in comparison to several other countries, Ukraine contributed proportionately fewer
numbers to the Waffen SS, or to any of the German armed forces, then why didn't Mr. Safer
commend Ukrainians for their relatively small contribution to the German war effort?
(4) It would have been instructive of Mr. Safer to inform 60 Minutes viewers whether the Waffen
SS divisions of other countries were created under the same proviso that they not be used
against the Western Allies, but only against the Soviets on the Eastern Front? Perhaps
Ukrainians are to be commended again for limiting the role that their Waffen SS troops played
within the German military.
(5) Finally, given that Canada's Deschenes Commission on War Criminals failed to identify even a
single member of the Galicia Division as calling for further investigation; and given that not a
single member of the Division has ever been convicted of any crime, or even tried for any crime;
and, most importantly, given that nobody has ever specified any crime of which the Galicia
Division as a whole, or any member of the Galicia Division, might have been guilty - given all
this, it would have been instructive of Mr. Safer to inform 60 Minutes viewers whether the
Waffen SS divisions of The Netherlands, Belgium, and France have proven to be as free from blame
as has the Ukrainian Galicia Division.
Why Did Himmler Want a Waffen SS?
If the Wehrmacht was the combat arm of the German forces, and Himmler's SS was dedicated to
running the concentration camps, then why were there combat units within the SS? Why weren't
non-German combat units such as the Galicia Division considered to be part of the Wehrmacht
rather than part of the SS? The suspicion in the mind of the impartial observer might readily
be that any unit that was considered part of the SS may in fact have performed some duties that
were uniquely SS, and thus was more likely to be guilty of war crimes than a Wehrmacht unit.
