08/07/2008: "List blames Jews for Ukrainian famine"

A Jewish group in Ukraine is objecting to a list of officials blamed for the country's Great Famine for being disproportionately Jewish.


The Ukrainian Jewish Committee claims the list of high-ranking Soviet state and Communist Party officials, as well as officials from the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB secret service, released July 23 by the Security Service of Ukraine on its Web site (sbu.gov.ua), makes it appear that Jews and Latvians were responsible for perpetrating and executing the famine, or Holomodor, in 1932-33.

[ Reminds me of how Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn named Jews behind Russian Communism. He was denounced as anti-semitic also. ]
