In Ukraine, a children's publishing house published a book of memoirs of an SS man
Ukrainian publishing houses specializing in children's and educational literature freely publish memoirs of Nazi criminals.
The head of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, Eduard Dolinsky, wrote about this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Mandrivets publishing house, specializing in children's and educational literature, published the memoirs of a Nazi war criminal, a member of the German SS, Evstachy Zagaczewski, “Memoirs of a Front-line Soldier.”
The veteran served in the SS from the first days of the 1941 war, from 1943 - in the SS division "Totenkopf", and from 1944 - in the SS division "Galicia".
The veteran underwent initial training at the SS training center in Dachau. He lived and died in the USA in 1998,” Dolinsky wrote.
“I am writing these words as an explanation for the unfair reproach to us, including me, for a crime that we did not commit - the crime of “national treason”, “collaboration with Nazism,” - printed in the preface to “Memoirs of a Front-Wind Soldier.” “I write about everything in simple words, the way I experienced and felt it.”
“I am one of those thousands of young Ukrainians who participated in the last world war in the ranks of the German army and were scattered along all sections of the long eastern front. I am one among those thousands of Ukrainians who, even in foreign uniforms, but with faith in a better tomorrow for their people, died nameless in battles near Sevastopol, Rzhev, Leningrad, Stalingrad and, God knows, what other cities,” the SS man admits in the preface .
The book consists of confessions, such as the words of Evstachy Zagachevsky, that as soon as evening came, “the couples went to the so-called. "Einsatz" with other parts of the regiment."
(Einsatzgruppen (German: Einsatzgruppen) - paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that carried out mass murders of civilians in the territories of Europe and the USSR occupied by it. They played a leading role in the “final solution to the Jewish question”).
