Trial and Error: Canada's Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals and the SovietsQuestions the motivations of Sol Littman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center of Los Angeles in the recent campaign to track down Nazi war criminals in Canada, which resulted in the creation of the Deschenes Commission. States that the Ukrainians as a whole are attacked for collaboration with the Nazis, Soviet war crimes are ignored and Soviet evidence accepted as valid. Claims that the USSR encourages war crimes trials to blacken the name of anti-Soviet emigre groups and fabricates evidence. Warns that cooperation with the USSR, a participant in many Nazi war crimes and inheritor of antisemitic doctrines, cannot lead to discovery of the truth. |
