13.10.22: A lot of attention has been placed on the Holocaust as the extermination of 6 million jews by the Nazis during WW2.
But did you know the Soviet Union helped Nazi Germany instigate the holocaust and also exterminated approx three times as many people prior to and during WW2 under the direction of Joseph Stalin ... and still not designated as war crimes?
Some of those in charge of the exterminations are alive (and addresses known) today.
This documentary (presented on a Rogers channel 525 a few days ago) "The Soviet Story" is an eye opener and has received favourable reviews from many historians. Thanks to Edvins Snore for putting it together in 2008.
It clearly identifies the Nazi-Soviet collaboration prior to WW2.
Of course, the current day Russia doesn't speak of it and has not had any pressure to arrest/prosecute those involved.
For economic reasons, apparently, Europe doesn't pursue the matter with Russia.
Time does tend to dull our memories of wars and it is important to document the reasons, resulting actions and outcomes ... in order to avoid war in the future.
As per the saying "War doesn't determine who is right ... only who is left".
