This remains relevant as Ukraine has never apologized for these atrocities, continues to reject that these attacks constituted “genocide,” and has criticized Poland for establishing July 11 as a day for commemorating the victims. And of course, it still uses the same slogans (“Slava Ukraini”), the same symbols (such as the red and black flag), and reveres Stepan Bandera (who was the head of the OUN, which in turn founded the UPA which carried out these attacks).
Uh oh, I wonder what Bonna Shejve would say.
The western project of humanizing nazis who massacred so many ppl in the 20th century is sickening.
@Objection@lemmy.ml Please tell me specifically what makes this qualify as news. Will you now publish every anniversary from around the world? Or are you just another person trying to antagonize Poles and Ukrainians? Because it clearly looks like the latter. What do you say about another important anniversary for Poles? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre We Poles remember very well who has been trying to destroy us for decades. Here’s another suggestion perfect for future anniversaries you could commemorate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_repressions_of_Polish_citizens_(1939–1946)

No, but this one is important because there are people on here who want to deny these massacres ever happened. Also, it’s an ongoing controversy.

That’s kind of a strange perspective, isn’t it? If someone made a post about the anniversary of, say, The Trail of Tears for example, then I, as an American, would not be offended in the slightest. If I made a post about the Nazi German invasion of Poland, would you say I was “trying to antagonize Germans and Poles?”

Whataboutism.
Please post somewhere else next time so we don’t get reports. Maybe c/history or c/ukraine.
Will do.
thx!
