ГУЛаг Палестины

attorney, reports that in connection with his visit to the Simferopol, Ukraine, KGB

headquarters in 1990, a plaque memorializing the "KGB" dead of the war showed that

all thirty of the thirty names were Jewish:

On the right-hand wall was a stone memorial plaque engraved with

the names of about thirty KGB men from Simferopol who had fallen in

the Great Patriotic War, as the Soviets call World War II. I was

shocked and angry as I read the names: the first was Polonski and

the last Levinstein, and all those between were ones like

Zalmonowitz, Geller and Kagan - all Jews. The best of Jewish youth

in Russia, the cradle of Zionism, had sold itself and its soul to

the Red Devil. (The Demjanjuk Affair: The Rise and Fall of a

Show-Trial, Victor Gollancz, London, 1994, p. 301)

Of course Sheftel's sample of 30 is not necessarily a sample that is representative

of the entire NKVD in Ukraine; however the Jewish domination of the entire NKVD is

not a rare or dubious hypothesis, but is one, rather, that is upheld from more than

one direction:

As a Jew, I'm interested in another question entirely: Why were

there so many Jews among the NKVD-MVD investigators - including

many of the most terrible? It's a painful question for me but I

cannot evade it. (Yevgenia Albats, The State Within a State: The

KGB and its Hold on Russia, Past, Present and Future, 1994, p. 147)

Jews abounded [also] at the lower levels of the Party machinery

especially in the Cheka and its successors, the GPU, the OGPU and

the NKVD.... It is difficult to suggest a satisfactory reason for

the prevalence of Jews in the Cheka. It may be that having

suffered at the hand of the former Russian authorities they wanted

to seize the reins of real power in the new state for themselves.

(Leonard Shapiro, The Role of Jews in the Russian Revolutionary

Movement, Slavonic and East European Review, 1961, 40, p. 165)

But if in the pre-German interval Ukrainians were being killed by the NKVD, and if

the NKVD was disproportionately, or even overwhelmingly, Jewish, then one might

summarize by saying that in the pre-German interval, Ukrainians were being killed by

Jews.

I Expand My Summary Table Once Again

The table which I have been developing in my letters to you of 30Jun99 and 01Jul99

can now be elaborated with the uppermost entry:

Date of my letter

Subject of my letter

Date of Attack

Violence that you should have reported in your 23Oct94 The Ugly Face of Freedom

04Jul99

The Wiesenthal-Safer Calumny

Summer 1941

15May99

Who murdered Volodymyr Ivasiuk?

April 1979

30Jun99

Who murdered Vadim Boyko?

February 14, 1992

Violence that you might have caused by your 23Oct94 The Ugly Face of Freedom

09Apr99

Who blew the hands off Maksym Tsarenko?

Summer 1995

17May99

Who murdered Volodymyr Katelnytsky?

July 7-8, 1997

01Jul99

Who murdered Borys Derevyanko?

August 11, 1997

The new "The Wiesenthal-Safer Calumny" entry in the table above is of particular

importance not only because of the large number of victims involved, but also

because it demonstrates your going beyond the fault of overlooking Ukrainians being

victimized, to the greater fault of replacing the real killing of a large number of

Ukrainians by Jews with an imaginary killing of a large number of Jews by

Ukrainians.

And I Find My Earlier Conclusions

Strengthened

What a convincing broadcast your The Ugly Face of Freedom would have been if all the

instances in the above table had been ones of Jews or Russians being tortured and

mutilated and murdered by Ukrainians, instead of the other way around! However, in

your broadcast you documented not a single such story featuring Ukrainians

victimizing Jews or Russians. Evidence of Ukrainians being victimized was

plentiful, but you ignored it. Much worse, in the case of the pre-German violence,

you reversed it.

Unless you are able to offer some credible defense, Mr. Safer, two conclusions that

have already gained a foothold threaten to climb to wide acceptance:

(1) that your 23Oct94 60 Minutes broadcast The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes demonstrated

your lack of competence and integrity; and

(2) that your broadcast served to demonstrate to Ukraine's assassins not only that

violence against Ukrainians goes unreported in the world press, but also that it is

even buried under fabricated reports of violence committed by Ukrainians. By means

of this demonstration, you informed Ukraine's assassins that they might expect

impunity for their work against Ukrainians, and in this way you encouraged them to

violence that they might otherwise have feared to commit. Thus, it is possible that

you contributed to Maksym Tsarenko losing his hands, and to Volodymyr Katelnytsky

together with his mother, and Borys Derevyanko, losing their lives.
