".
In the 20th century Europe has experienced many acts of genocide. Some of these acts are spoken of much and often, whilst others are shrouded in silence. In the press we read most frequently about the Nazi and communist genocides.
One act of genocide over which there is permanent silence is the murder of hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles and Ukrainians in Polish territory under German occupation during World War II, perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists from the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army. A significant part of the cadres of this Army served earlier in Nazi SS units. This genocide had the character of
savage murder, perpetrated with extreme cruelty. The total population inhabiting a specific territory was annihilated. The victims were put to death and parts of their bodies were cut off or ripped out. At present people who participated in these murders are seeking ex-combatant status in Ukraine.
I wish to stress that nothing can justify genocide, not even an attempt to gain freedom and sovereignty for one’s own nation."@en1
