EDMONTON, CANADA - OCTOBER 3, 2023: View of Edmonton's controversial Ukrainian Memorial at St. Michael's Cemetery. Jewish organizations request the removal of the memorial due to its SS Division affiliation and dark past, on October 3, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The 2023 Canadian controversy was ignited by Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian-Canadian WWII veteran linked to the infamous 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), a Nazi military unit. Hunka's recognition in the Canadian Parliament sparked heated debates about his division's sinister past, marked by wartime repressions, mass killings of Poles and Jews, and collaboration with the Third Reich. The controversy underscores the divisive views within the Ukrainian-Canadian community, as some still hail the division as a symbol of patriotism, while others condemn its wartime atrocities. This incident has triggered broader discussions on historical accountability and memory in Canada.
