Klitschko: Monument to Holocaust victims on Bandera Avenue

02:58, 14.08.2016

Mayor Klitschko, who just yesterday signed a law to rename the Moscow avenue of the Ukrainian capital into the Bandera avenue, now wants to install in Kiev a monument to victims of the OUN-UPA executioners.

According to him, Kiev should have a memorial to Holocaust victims, which would remind of the terrible tragedies of the past. In other words, the mayor urges to honor the memory of those killed by Bandera and Petlyura.

By the way, one of the main streets in the capital is named after Petliura, and many witty people of Kiev offer to establish a memorial to the victims of Nazism there.

Klitschko said that Holocaust memorials were installed in many cities around the world - Vienna, Berlin, Warsaw, New York, Jerusalem - and offered to keep up with them. According to the mayor, ‘if we do not remember our past, then we will make the same mistakes’.

It is noteworthy that Klitschko’s sudden passion for the perpetuation of the memory of the Jewish victims of Nazis "woke up" right after a number of Jewish organizations spoke out against the glorification of Bandera.
