Those who served in the 14th Waffen SS Division Galicia had taken an oath to Hitler and had received education in Nazi doctrine. Ukrainian officers had been trained at SS facilities in the Dachau concentration camp. In fact, some of the division’s members have noted in their memoirs that concentration camp prisoners were required to remove their hats as a sign of respect for the Ukrainian SS. Unit members were given SS tattoos under their left arm indicating their blood group. Leadership of the division included some key figures who had been directly involved in the Holocaust.

"IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE" signs found on University of South Carolina campus
November 20th 2017
A University of South Carolina student says she and others found flyers on the Columbia campus Monday reading "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE."
Vaidehi Gajjar, a USC student, posted a photo on Facebook Monday showing the sign. Gajjar says she found the sign taped to the door of the university's Coker Life Sciences building.
Fellow students responding to Gajjar's Facebook post reported they also saw the flyers at other campus buildings. USC officials confirmed in a statement to WIS-TV Monday that the fliers were found elsewhere on campus.
In their statement, university officials said: "The University of South Carolina and the Carolina Family remain steadfastly committed to the principles set forth in the Carolinian Creed to “respect the dignity of all persons,' to 'discourage bigotry, while striving to learn from differences in people, ideas, and opinions,' and to 'demonstrate concern for others, their feelings, and their needs for conditions which support their work and development.'"
According to the Washington Post, the flyers have been appearing frequently on college campuses around the U.S.

Yaroslav Hunka affair should prompt us to revisit some of our own history
Canada's past — particularly the policies of prime minister W.L. Mackenzie King toward Jews — could use a good airing
As you’ve certainly heard by now, Parliament recently honoured a former Nazi Waffen-SS Galicia Division soldier, Yaroslav Hunka, with a standing ovation in the House of Commons. The incident, borne of a fundamental ignorance of history, was an embarrassment for all involved.
Yet this error in judgment presents an opportunity to re-examine the equally regrettable but all-too-intentional actions undertaken by the Canadian government during the era of the Second World War.
W.L. Mackenzie King remains Canada’s longest-ever serving prime minister. He was an incrementalist and technocrat who achieved much over his 21 years in office. Most concerned with maintaining national unity, he instituted popular cumulative reforms while avoiding issues of contention. He lacked the charisma of his contemporaries — Churchill, Roosevelt, de Gaulle — and his legacy was profoundly shaped by his pursuit of consensus over trailblazing. That tendency, prudent at the best of times, can manifest as dithering and cowardice under more challenging circumstances.
In the late 1930s, democratic leaders were confronted with a dire situation, necessitating prompt action; King failed to meet that moment. Between Hitler’s rise in 1933 and the defeat of the Nazis in 1945, Canada admitted just 5,000 Jewish refugees — the fewest of almost any refugee-receiving state. On the question at hand, King was influenced by several political interest groups and phenomena: the Great Depression, nativist and anti-immigrant forces in his cabinet and clearly antisemitic bureaucrats in the civil service.
While no one could have envisioned the extent of the horror to come, by the late 1930s the plight of European Jews was undeniable. Germany’s Jewish population was barred from serving in the civil service as early as 1933 and from the Armed Forces in 1935. The infamous Nuremberg Laws, which stripped German Jews of their citizenship, passed later that same year. Fully aware of these developments, when considering the admittance of Jewish refugees in 1938 King wrote, “A very difficult question has presented itself … in a word, admitting numbers of Jews. My own feeling is that nothing is to be gained by creating an internal problem in an effort to meet an international one … We must nevertheless seek to keep this continent free from unrest and from too great an intermixture of foreign strains of blood …”
On Nov. 9 and 10 that year, conditions worsened still further as Kristallnacht befell German Jewry. Hundreds were murdered and thousands of Jewish-owned homes, businesses and synagogues were set ablaze. In the days that followed, the German government sent some 30,000 male Jews to concentration camps at Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen; forced the transfer of Jewish-owned businesses into “Aryan” hands, and expelled all Jewish students from state schools.
According to the influential text None is Too Many, Mackenzie King responded to these events and resulting calls for action in a particularly appalling manner. After expressing sympathy for the victims’ suffering, he informed petitioners that the tragic events of recent days might be a blessing as, by generating such revulsion worldwide, Germany might now be pressured to desist from further actions against the Jews. Regardless, King had to “consider the constituencies and the views of those supporting the Government.”
In his diary, King expressed sorrow for European Jewry, writing that some action, despite the political consequences, would be “right and just, and Christian,” but when push came to shove, he failed to act. Recalling the cabinet meeting of Nov. 24, 1938, he wrote that despite encouraging his ministers to act as the “conscience of the nation,” they expressed little interest, and so he chose not to “press the matter any further.”
I’ve not seen evidence to suggest that King was any more markedly antisemitic than many of his contemporaries, and his failure on this subject seems best attributed to indecision and moral cowardice. He chose political expediency over humanitarianism and, through his inaction, sacrificed Canada’s moral standing in the world. Thousands of lives could have been saved had he, and others in his administration, pursued what was, in his own words, “right and just, and Christian.”
In current times, King is prominently memorialized in public — on the $50 banknote; through statuary at Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park; and in the names of schools and scholarships. Public history requires constant reassessment, and it may be time to reconsider how we commemorate the legacy of W.L. Mackenzie King.

The Azov soldier has a chevron on his sleeve with a Star of David on the background of a red and black flag, along with a Ukrainian flag and an Azov Regiment insignia.
The red and black flag is associated with Ukrainian nationalists, whom Russian propagandists claim are neo-Nazis, while the Azov Regiment has been branded as neo-Nazi by Russia.
