#Israel’s Ambassador to #Ukraine speaks out and begs the Mayor of Poltava not to pave over a major Holocaust killing site for a real estate development. It’s very sad that this happens so often in Ukraine and other East European countries. twitter.com/ambassadorlion…

#Lithuanian Parliament (@LRSeimas , @LTSeimasForeign) to hold a one-sided event in far-right spirit of #Holocaust revisionism on 19 June: #LAF #Hitlerist militias of June 1941 glorified yet again. Very sad. elta.lt/lt/pranesimai-…

@KyivPost reporter "chilling out" with neo-Nazi hate group Azov? That uses the SS Wolfsangel logo as their logo? And many of whose soldiers at various times have been seen with Swastikas? And whom was caught out by Germany's Spiegel recuriting German neo-Nazis? C'mon @BSBonner twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/…

A generally fine article but one major error: author naively accepts far right "Holocaust fixing" of Europe's most dishonest museum. Please see defendinghistory.com. (Moreover, it's a fake history that only plays into Putin's evil hands). @HolocaustMuseum @HolocaustGrMW

Thats one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen since I joined Twitter. She blessed a boy for his decision to join a neo-Nazi battalion in #Ukraine?! Good G-d. I understand why FB wants someone for that position, but couldn’t they have found someone with more moderate views? twitter.com/MarkAmesExiled…

Well I empathize with them being attacked by right wing or neo-Nazi types. Certainly have had similar experiences in Lithuania over the years for daring to question the bona fides of the Nazi collaborators lionized by the Lithuanian Gov’t as heroes

Recommending this account on #Ukraine. Seems to be unafraid to call out links between Gov’t and neo-Nazi extremists, yet also seems to genuinely want the best for the country. Proves there’s no conflict between these 2 things

Updates on plans to glorify on 23 June 2019 the #Hitlerist militias that murdered many Jewish civilians in #Kaunas even before the Nazis took control of the city in 1941. Changes truly needed before Kaunas becomes "#CapitalofEuropeanCulture". . . defendinghistory.com/kaunas-to-host…

Is #Kaunas ready to be 2022 "Capital of European Culture"? It has just gifted city center for massive city-center neo-Nazi glorification of Hitlerist "uprising" of June 23rd that killed thousands before Nazis took control. Details defendinghistory.com @KaunasFEZ @KaunasCity

Yet AGAIN, #Lithuanian state agencies glorify a #Holocaust era cheerleader for & participant in #Nazi policies. Time for the newly elected president of this terrific democratic EU/NATO country to speak out loud and clear. JTA's report at: jta.org/quick-reads/li… @GitanasNauseda

So this school in Western #Ukraine is named after a regional leader of the #Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, a force which collaborated closely with the Nazis in implementing the Holocaust. And now they dress these kids up to celebrate the murderous UPA m.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/story.…

Concerns growing that forces in the US Embassy in Vilnius, in place for a DECADE, have been manipulated into covering for state Holocaust obfuscation & revisionism, & mixing in internal Jewish community politics on the wrong (=undemocratic) side of things. defendinghistory.com/has-the-era-of…

#Canada has this issue too by the way....hilltimes.com/2017/11/01/no-… Monuments to #Ukraine’s Waffen-SS Galizien and UPA’s Shukhevych, under whose leader between 70K-100K Polish civilians were butchered so #Ukraine’s OUN ruled state would be ethnically pure twitter.com/MarkAmesExiled…

It should be noted that in his autobiography, Stetsko endorsed the Nazi solution for Jews. And his Independence Proclamation of 1941 for a new OUN fascist state, made after the Nazi invasion, pledged loyalty to Hitler. OUN was like Ustashi, the Croatian fascist puppet state twitter.com/mossrobeson__/…
