Here’s an interesting tidbit from the piece:

“Unlike in Poland and Germany, where the Holocaust remains visible through the searing symbols of the extermination camps, the horror in Ukraine was hidden away, first by the Nazis, then by the Soviets.”

Nice posting! Have a great weekend!

I do nt think it is shame that promotes silence so often. I believe it is fear and denial mixed with guilt. The horror of the Nazis spread beyond just german guilt and reached the Hungarians, the Poles, even the Dutch of Ann Frank’s world, the Italians, the French and of course the Arabs who in the irony of ironies greeted the antisemitc Germans. Even Churchill, asked by Eichmann to trade trucks for some huge numbers of Jews–I can’t recall if it was 100,000 or 1,000,000 and it does not matter much–said something like, “what would I do with 1 million Jews. The shame of the silence of the Ukraine is the shame of the silence of the world.

You’d think that Father Desbois would get more recognition for his efforts. A good man doing good work.

You’d think maybe the Buddhist monks of Myanmar might get the Nobel Prize this year.

You might, but you’d be wrong. No we get pages of drivel about Paris Hilton’s latest sorry exploits and Al Gore being a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize. Which I guess, tells you what the Nobel Prize and all that publicity are worth.

Thanks for paying attention to this shameful event in Russian history. I was touched by this shame through the experiences of my Ukranian wife, whose inability to identify with her Jewish heritage only disappeared after coming to the U.S. to live. Yes, it is one of the terrible consequences of 20th c. Bolshevism.

See the video: “Everything is revealed.” It starts as a comedy and uncovers just such a mass murder in The Ukraine.

“You might, but you’d be wrong. No we get pages of drivel about Paris Hilton’s latest sorry exploits and Al Gore being a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize. Which I guess, tells you what the Nobel Prize and all that publicity are worth.”

We also get tons of stories about how Bush and the Republicans are just like the Nazi’s. Remember when these people are saying such things what they are comparing the US (and most of the western civilization) too - are they that stupid or that blind?

In either case it speak VERY badly of those that equate us to them.

Besides, when Yassar Arafat won the Nobel Peace Price that should have been when what you express became apparent - the current contenders are no where near as much hypocrisy as that is. It is only worth anything within that insular culture and they can only do so much before people realize they are idiots (though the cycle from Prophet to Idiot seems to be repeated every few years after their policies screw everything/everyone).

People that witnessed horrible events always try to suppress such memories. My father never told me about Red Army atrocities in Germany, this was too painful to him; and my father-in-law, a German national, who was in so called Labour Army in Siberia (a prison camp, where all German nationals were interned during war) also never told anything about this period. Exceptions are extremely rare.
