There were to be 553 names in total, of which 50-60 have been confirmed to be Nazis but 330 probably have ties to Nazis or other fascist organizations.

The only reason the monument hasn't been unveiled is because Canada made a massive boo-boo last year when they literally applauded an actual Ukrainian Nazi around the same time they were gonna publicly unveil this monument.

Several Jewish groups have been campaigning to have the Nazis removed.

The memorial was also supposed to be only funded by private donations, but somehow that $1.5m of private got a boost of $6m of public funds. Wonder why.

When your victims of communism memorial has almost no names left because everybody was a nazi, but you still never stop to think what these "victims" really even were.

Man when 59.7% of the category of people you're memorializing turn out to be Nazis, you'd think it'd prompt some introspection.

Like maybe instead of just removing the Nazis, think about why this category of "victims of communism" includes so many Nazis? Maybe the communists were mostly "victimizing" people who deserved it.

There was probably a vetting process for this too. It's 60% after they probably removed a few people for whom there was easily available photographic evidence that they worked at a concentration camp, or whatever would be considered too for even kkkanada

MFW Allies of WW2 regularly mourn the casualties of the axis powers. Like if they're "victims of communism" then they're also victims of liberal capitalism too.
