*******************************
Dear Robert Keyserlingk:
It is hard to believe that it is
almost 15 months since
we were last in contact. I ran across your excellent letter in the
March 18,
2001 issue of the Ottawa Citizen. I am sure that all Ukrainians and
especially Olya (Odynsky) Grod appreciate your
epistle. The deliberate delays of Judge MacKay have paralysed her from
publicizing the issue for 18 months. Time wasted.
I have taken the liberty of
archiving your letter on my
MoZeus web site at http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mozuz/
At this site you will also find
the Canada 2000 Election
link where I summarize the d/d issue. I tried to have Anne McLellan
defeated by
supporting Betty Unger of the Canadian Alliance but failed.
Right now, I am trying to finish
summarizing the
Demjanjuk Files at my Lily web site before the new Demjanjuk
denaturalization
trial begins on May 29, 2001.
Once again, thanks.
Regards
Will Zuzak

Show
*******************************
Dear Olya (Odynsky) Grod:
(1) I am a little worried as to
exactly when you are
going to be on the Peter Warren Show. The schedules for Sunday June 23,
2002, that I could dig up were as follows:
Vancouver CKNW
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. PDT
Edmonton CHED am630
11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. MDT
Calgary QR77
11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. MDT
Winnipeg CJOB
12:00
a.m. - 3:30 p.m. CDT
London CFPL am980
- no information -
Kitchener CKGL am570
1:00 p.m.
EDT - ESPN or Play by Play
Toronto Talk640
- no information -
Hamilton CHML am900
- no information -
Thus, if Peter Warren is broadcast
live on all stations,
the listening times should be 3:00 p.m. in Ontario, 2:00 p.m. in
Manitoba, 1:00
p.m.in Saskatchewan and Alberta and
12:00 noon in British
Columbia.
(2) In my opinion, a good time for
you to be in Edmonton
is the August 11, 2002 weekend for the annual Ukrainian Heritage
Village festivities (60 km east of Edmonton). Many
politicians try to attend
this function. I'll discuss it with Eugene and Marco here.

Hi Will,
I am available any time after July
15th to do a speaking
tour.
But what are the chances of
getting people out?
I will be going to the various
summer camps to speak to
the kids ....the next generation of voters !!!
I agree that we must keep up the pressure.
There was a letter to the editor
in the Toronto Sun
yesterday - one week after the Worthington article - that shows just
how much mail they received !!!!!
Thanks for your continued support.

Dear Olya (Odynsky) Grod:
(1)
I am
delighted that you and Robert Keyserlingk will be appearing on the
Peter Warren Show
on Sunday June 23, 2002.
Here, in Edmonton, this should be broadcast
on 630 CHED AM at 3:00 p.m. MDT.
[By the way,
Peter Warren was born in England in 1941 and presumably immigrated to
Canada in
1956. I am sure that many of his detractors would love to see him
denaturalized and deported. Same with Peter Mansbridge and Keith Landy.]
In my opinion, it is
crucial that the testimony of
1940's - 1950's bureaucrats such as Mr.
d'Ombrain (?) be
discredited. Their sanctimonious testimony
about their dedication, competence and honesty simply does not accord
with the reality of that day.
The so-called "Process which was in
place" was deeply
flawed.
(2) I talked
to Tommy Banks about the d/d issue last fall at a UCPBA - Ukrainian
students
workshop. I would be pleased to post his letter to you on my web site
at
http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mozuz/odynsky/odynsky.html
(3) I hope
you will be able to make a speaking tour of Western Canada in the next
few months.
The blitz of the past two weeks has sensitized the Ukrainian community
to the issue. We must not allow ourselves to revert back to
complacency. A major effort must be made to inform and sensitize the
general
Canadian public.

Will Zuzak

I wish to advise you that
I along with Mr.Robert
Keyserlingk of Ottawa will be appearing on the Peter
Warren Talk Show this
Sunday June 23 at 1:00 pm Eastern time and I believe
that is 4:00 pm western time.
Mr. Keyserlingk was an
immigration officer in post
war Europe. He wrote a very
comprehensive brief and was scheduled to
appear on behalf of Odynsky. We did not use
him for strategic reasons.
The prosecution did not venture into the areas that Mr.
Keyserlingk was called to refute. He is very disappointed
that he was not called as he
feels he really could have helped. At the
time, I went with the
advice of Mr. Marrocco and Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Keyserlingk has been
writing to government officials
and the press for the past several years.
His dedication to this
matter is monumental.

Dear Natalie Harasymiw and Craig
Mahovsky:
Attached are my two Word 6.0/95
files on the Keyserlingk
article. I have not recorded all the small corrections I made, but
suggest an
editing modification pasted below.
I have to do a bingo, so have to go!

****************************
I would suggest that a second
paragraph (or a footnote)
be created to explain the above and that the title and first paragraph
on page67, line14 be modified as follows:
REPLACE
1950 Admission of Waffen SS
An example of the government’s
inconsistent application
of its security rejection policy for WWII collaboration can be seen in
the 1950 admission to Canada of a
large group of Ukrainian
Waffen SS volunteers. This case bears directly on the rapid change of
attitude
due to the Cold War within British and Canadian official establishments
towards
anti-Soviet immigrants. As outlined above, in 1946 Polish veterans on
the Allied
side were admitted to
Canada, even though some of them had earlier fought against the Allies.
In the
case of these Ukrainians, even this standard was lowered because these
men had
fought in the Waffen SS on the Germans side, never on the Allied side.
Still they were still permitted to come to Canada.
WITH
1950 Admission of Galicia Division
An example of the government’s
inconsistent application

With the encouragement of the

***********************************
Dear Robert Keyserlingk:
If you recall, we were in Email
contact on the Wasyl
Odynsky case in the 1998-2000 years and lost contact. I got your new
Email
address from an Email sent by Natalie Harasymiw. Hopefully, this
message will reach you.
As you probably know, I was
helping Eugene Harasymiw with
his book on d&d, within which your article is one item. Since
he died on
Oct. 02, 2004, I have been encouraging and helping Natalie Harasymiw to
get the
book published via the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS).
Unfortunately, they are slow as
molasses.
I have continued my work on
d&d and most recently
have been monitoring developments in the Josef Furman case here in
Edmonton. I
also write a monthly Zuzak GRC Report (Government Relations Committee
report
for UCC-APC), which I distribute to a number of people. Hoping that you
have no
objections, I have put you on my distribution list.
I looked up your coordinates via
411.ca and tried to
phone you earlier today, but you were out. I would be pleased to
re-establish
contact, if you are so inclined.
Respectfully yours

**** Furman - Skomatchuk trial
***********************************
Dear Robert Keyserlingk:
[I note that you refer to me as Mr
Mozuz, presumably
because that is what appears in the From: window of the messages I
send. This
is a mnemonic for my brother Moe Zuzak, to whom this computer
originally
belonged and who passed away on Oct. 25, 1998. Frankly, I haven't
figured out
how to have my name Will Zuzak, rather than my Email address, appear in
the
From: window.
Secondly, I always use the full
name in the text of my
Email messages -- even with my brothers. It is a habit that I got into
many
years ago, which proved very useful when you "strip headers" and
concatenate messages. It has nothing to do with a misplaced sense of
formality.]
The lawyer for both Josef Furman
and Jura Skomatchuk is
Eric Hafemann, who is also the lawyer for Helmut Oberlander.
Personally, I
think you should be called as an expert witness for the defense in both
these
cases. [If I recall from Olya Odynsky, you were to testify in the Wasyl
Odynsky
case, but the lawyer Marrocco decided not to use you for some
unexplained reason.]
Last week, as I was discussing the
Josef Furman case with
his sons, Len and Bob, your name came up as an expert in immigration
procedures
during the 1950's. I told them to look up your articles archived on my
website
and especially the interview on the Peter Warren Show with you and Olya
Odynsky.http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mozuz/odynsky/odynsky.html
or specifically
http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mozuz/odynsky/keyserlingk20010318.html

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/mozuz/odynsky/warren2002june23.html
Rather than sending your
manuscript to Hafemann, I think
we should first get it to Len and Bob Furman. Presumably, you could
send it as
an attachment to an Email, or Natalie Harasymiw or I could do it.
With your permission, I will
contact the Furman's and
give them your Email address. That way, we could carry on a three-way
discussion.

Will Zuzak

Dr. Keyserlingk is an expert on
immigration procedures
during the 1950's and would make an excellent expert witness for your
father's
defence. He also wrote an article on this subject for the forthcoming
book by Eugene Harasymiw.

**** Reply to Bob Keyserlingk
***********************************
Dear Bob Keyserlingk:
Apologies for not replying
immediately, but I was busy
and am taking off for a week. The Email address of Olya Odynsky is [email protected]
, her home phone
number is 416-622-3727 .
As you can probably tell by my
writings, I am not at all
happy with the response of the Ukrainian Community to the latest
d&d
developments -- Wasyl Odynsky and Vladimir Katriuk "amnestied", Jacob
Fast and Helmut Oberlander "citizenship revoked", Josef Furman and
Yura Skomatchuk "in limbo". Divide and conquer seems to be the
persecutors strategy.
In my opinion, the Ukrainian
community should make a
massive effort to convince the government to reinstate the citizenship
of Mssrs. Oberlander and Fast. All Canadians
should demand that the
d&d policy be abandoned. The federal government should
apologize for
initiating the d&d process and provide financial compensation
to its victims.
Furthermore, I suspect that most
of the lawyers for the
defence in these d&d cases were compromised and only put up a
token defence.
And I am still waiting for the
book of Eugene Harasymiw
to be published.
All the best
Will Zuzak

Thanks for the Odynski articles. Having been involved - but
not enough thanks to their lawyer - I
appreciated particularily your
on-the-spot remarks:
[W.Z. I must respectfully disagree
with Ms. Odynsky. In
my opinion, the legal counsel for Mr. Odynsky
failed to appropriately
challenge the prosecution's contention that,
during the chaotic immigration period following WWII, a "system was in
place requiring
that all prospective immigrants be screened by a visa
control officer".
The prosecution contends that all immigrants underwent such
interviews during
which they allegedly "lied" about their wartime
activities. The
witnesses for the prosecution in this area were not appropriately
challenged. Evidence to
the contrary not effectively presented. In my
opinion, Ukrainian
historians, researchers and academics have failed to do
appropriate research in this area. This failure seems to have
bedeviled the defence counsels
of virtually all the d&d cases, in
particular, that of Josef Furman
and Yura Skomatchuk. Indeed, the legal profession bears
a huge responsibility
for allowing the fraudulent d&d process to
proceed in the first place.]
I have misplaced the Odynski email
address - do you have

***********************************
Dear Mrs. Keyserlingk:
My condolences to you on the passing
of your husband. I am deeply saddened to hear the news. As
you know, he wrote a very
important article on the reality of Canadian immigration procedures in
the
early 1950s. In his last Email message to me on 08Oct2009, he
wrote:
********************************* *****************************
****************************************
The choice whether to use or not use
my material in war crimes cases like Olga's father was not the
defendants, but
their dumb lawyers. They never seemed to realize that these
civil trials
essentially consisted of two parts - was the defendant war criminal?
According
to the weak evidential rules in civil cases like this, how believable
need the
evidence be (usually very weak)? The lawyers concentrated on
the first
of these issues and usually won, thinking then that they had won their
case. So they decided not to go into the second part about
which I wrote
and on which basis they consistently lost their cases in which the
defendants
were judged "perhaps" to have lied upon emigration to Canada.
A pity.
All the best, Bob Keyserlingk

***********************************
Dear Myron Kuropas:
I am writing to inquire about the
status of your article for the book of the late Eugene
Harasymiw
(2004.10.02) on denaturalization and deportation. A couple of
months ago,
Jars Balan said that he was waiting for the latest version of your
article and
that he was writing an appropriate introduction. Our TYC organization
has been
encouraging Jars Balan to finish the project, but there always seem to
be delays.
As you probably heard, Robert
Keyserlingk passed away on 08 December 2009 without seeing his article
published. As indicated by the message below, his wife Michaela
Keyserlingk
would like to see the project finished also.
Our TYC (Ukrainian Self-Reliance
Association) Edmonton branch is having a meeting this Monday, 22Mar2010
at
which we would like to discuss the book. Could we have some feedback
from you?

of Ukrainians
accused of war crimes, was never published. As you know Mr. Harasymiw
died and
his wife Natalie took over the publication only to get paralyzed by a

the effort
Bob and Mr. Harasymiw have put into this cause I think it is a great

the book was never published. I know how disappointed Bob was about
