Ukraine will celebrate the centenary of the organizer of the massacre of Jews
According to Verkhovna Rada resolution No. 2364, Ukraine in 2020 will celebrate the centenary of one of the UPA commanders, Vasil Levkovich, who took part in the mass executions of Jews.
About this on his page in Facebook said the director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee Eduard Dolinsky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“According to the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada, in 2020 Ukraine should celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vasyl Levkovich, the head of the auxiliary police, a war criminal, the organizer of Jewish pogroms, and a participant in the extermination of 5 Jews in Dubno.
The German engineer Hermann Grabe told about how the Jews of Dubno were killed in 1942 at the Nuremberg trials. Grabe described how the Nazis and the auxiliary police forced men, women and children to undress and go into a pit where about a thousand bodies were already lying:
“Without crying and screaming, these people undressed, stood in families, kissed each other and said goodbye. I saw a family of 8, a man and a woman, both about 50 years old with children about 1, 8 and 10 years old and two adult daughters about 20 and 24 years old. An elderly gray-haired woman held a one-year-old child in her arms and sang to him.
This mass murder of women and children involved Vasil Levkovich, who at that time headed the local Schutzmannschaft. How could the parliament of Ukraine think of celebrating the birthday of this killer?” Dolinsky was indignant.
Recall that Levkovich died seven years ago in Lviv, where he was buried with honors.
