Earlier this week, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland — one of the most powerful people in the Canadian government — tweeted in support of Holocaust Remembrance Day. And I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to point out how cartoonishly evil and cynical that was.
Wow. The nerve! Your grandfather—who you’ve praised and honored—was an unrepentant Nazi collaborator. You knew he was a Nazi collabo. But all you’ve done is attempt to cover up his Nazi past by blaming it on Russian propaganda. https://t.co/WclZ6Q80IV— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) January 28, 2020
It’s probably not widely known — I mean, who outside of Canada pays attention to Canadian domestic politics — but Chrystia Freeland has some serious unrepentant Nazi skeletons living in her family collaborationist closet.
A few years ago, a couple of Ukrainian Canadians discovered that Chrystia’s maternal grandfather — Michael Chomiak — was a Nazi collabo and a fascist propagandist. Among other things, he ran Krakow News, a Ukrainian-language newspaper, out of Nazi occupied Krakow, Poland.
The paper praised Hitler, ran giant ads for Ukrainian SS recruitment, spread antisemitic propaganda, pumped out vile garbage that helped justify the mass slaughter of Jews, Poles and Russians, and fully supported the war effort against the Judeo-Bolshevik and Kike Capitalists Alliance. At one point towards the end of the war, Michael Chomiak published a pro-genocide special issue that was meant to remind Ukrainians about the Jewish threat, even if most Jews had already been genocided at that point. He did all this while using a printing press that had been seized from a Jewish newspaper and while living a short train ride away from Auschwitz and a half dozen other extermination slave camps — where Jews were being butchered night and day.
Apparently Chrystia’s grandpa was well liked by his German bosses. He was pliable and sensed what could and could not be printed without having to be explicitly told. (more...)
