More Streets Found in Canada Named After Nazis – When Does This End?

 

Another day in Canada brings yet another discovery of more streets that honour Nazis or Nazi collaborators.

Canada is gaining quite the reputation of being a country which has more than its share of memorials to those who fought for the Third Reich and supported the Holocaust.

There are the monuments to the Ukrainian Waffen SS soldiers, Estonian SS troops and of course Canadian politicians gave a standing ovation in Parliament to Waffen SS soldier Yaroslav Hunka.

Now Lev Golinkin, who writes for the U.S. Jewish publication, The Forward, and who was the first to report the Hunka story, has found a couple of streets named for Hitler’s supporters.

In London, Ontario we have a street named for Max Brose, a Nazi party member and industrialist who used slave labour at his factories that churned out weapons for the Third Reich.

And in Edmonton, Golinkin discovered a street honouring Waffen SS soldier, and Hunka comrade, Peter Savaryn.  As CTV News reported, in 2023, following the Yaroslav Hunka controversy, the Governor General’s office apologized for awarding the Order of Canada to Savaryn in 1987. 

Savaryn, the SS man, was also at one time the Chancellor of the University of Alberta.  (more...)
