When you start to think seriously about what happened last Friday, it’s hard not to conclude that everyone involved looks like an idiot.

I swear to you that I believe the Holocaust happened.

I’m trying to say that one man, who was 18 years old, in 1943, living in Ukraine (which was part of the Soviet Union at the time), might have had limited options in what he did for a living.

And if he didn’t want to his people to be a part of the Soviet Union then he could have ended up on a unit that was working against the Soviet Union. I’m not saying that was right or wrong. I’m just saying it’s more complicated than “this guy was a Nazi” and the whole government of Canada is full of idiots.

You should say it was wrong. This man was a willing collaborator with the genocide of his own people, and other peoples as well. It really shouldn’t be hard to say it was wrong.

[edit] I feel I should say that my intention was not to accuse you of holocaust revisionism. But the Politico article is and I suggest you look at it with a more critical eye.
