“HISTORY WILL NEVER FORGET THE CRIMES INFLICTED ON THE PEOPLES OF THE GHETTOS OF POLAND AND THE UKRAINE BY THE NAZIS AND THE SERVILE ORGANIZATION OF UKRAINIAN NATIONALIST POLICE”
So declares the front cover of Michael Hanusiak’s 1976 book Lest We Forget. Hanusiak uses extensive historical evidence to show the close link between Ukrainian nationalism and Nazism during the Great Patriotic War (World War II), a connection which persists to the present day, as exemplified by the fascist regime in Kiev.
As Victory Day approaches, we remember the immense sacrifices which the progressive people of the world, led by the Soviet Union, made to defeat the menace of fascism. Works such as Lest We Forget preserve this memory, and they provide an important warning to not underestimate the crimes of which present-day fascism is capable.
