Ukrainian Television Show Features Holocaust Denier

(February 7, 2008)

An interview with the head of a Ukrainian organization called "Historical Truth" minimized the extent of the Holocaust and referred to Jews as "kikes", according to UCSJ's Lviv monitor. On February 5, 2008 the Antena cable channel featured an interview with Kostya Zarudny, who holds a Ph.D. in history, on the topic of "the distorted history of Ukraine." While the extent of collaboration by some Ukrainian nationalists with the Nazis is a tricky subject, made murkier by Soviet era propaganda on the one hand, and revisionist claims justifying the rehabilitation of Ukrainians who fought against the USSR on the other, Dr. Zarudny's statements were distinctly unsubtle.

"We see how the lie of the Holocaust continues in Ukraine, how once again the fantastic figure of six million is brought out, and that in Ukraine one and a half million kikes were supposedly killed," he said. "How long is this kike lie going to brainwash us?" He then went on to mock eyewitness testimony describing the existence of gas chambers and other well-documented horrors of the Nazi death camps.

UCSJ's monitor reports that the moderator changed the subject after this outburst and did not raise it again for the rest of the program.
