As
the 20 or so articles above illustrate,
the controversy over the Canadian Museum for Human Rights has
escalated.
On
11Apr2011, an “Open letter” defaming UCC
and UCCLA appeared on the Ukraine List #452 of Dominique Arel.
On
19Apr2011, Lubomyr Luciuk of UCCLA
responded with a critical reply, which includes the following paragraph:
“Here
in Canada the bogus declaration that
several eastern European communities had harboured ‘Nazi war criminals’
was
conclusively refuted by a federal Commission on War Criminals, headed
by Mr
Justice Jules Deschęnes, whose public report became available in 1986.
Those
who claimed (and some still do) that there were/are ‘Nazi war
criminals’ in
Canada were frustrated. So now they want to cement their calumnies into
the
halls of a publicly funded Canadian national museum. We shall resist.
We also
ask: why did these self-styled ‘Nazi hunters’ never actually name or
provide
real evidence to prove who these ‘Nazi war criminals’ in Canada’ are?
We recall
how their claims were considered and rejected by our courts. Why? --
because
they were utterly without evidentiary merit. These facts speak to an
utter lack
of credibility on the part of the organizations and individuals who
provoked
this controversy in the 1980s. Their tales are no more believable today
and
certainly have no place in an educational institution.”
On
23Apr2011, the “Open letter” appeared as
a full page A5 advertisement in the National Post -- “signed” by 104
people mostly
from outside Canada. There appear to be 23 signatures from Canada, 10
associated with the University of Alberta (including Per Anders
Rudling) and 2
extra from Edmonton (Myrna Kostash and Taras Kurylo). (There are 2
signatures
from Ukraine -- Christian Ganzer, Kyiv and Alexandr Kruglov, Kharkiv.
It is not
known if they are associated with the Party of Regions and Yanukovych's
attack
on OUN, UPA and Ukrainian patriotism and Yanukovych's glorification of
the
Communist Soviet past.)
The
defamatory letter was presumably
written by John-Paul Himka and his collaborators at the University of
Alberta
and was distributed around the world with the help of David Hirsh (see
his
08Apr2011 article).

The

on inexorably in a Munich courtroom. His lawyer, Ulrich Busch, was
presenting
closing arguments for the defense this past week (Tuesday to Thursday)
and will
presumably continue on 10May2011 next week.
Presumably, the judges will terminate this judicial farce
on Thursday,
12May2011.
