Unlike the madmen who deny the Jewish Holocaust, however, these people are often treated with respect and authority. Still today, there are university teachers, media figures and politicians who minimize or even dismiss the suffering of Ukrainian people. They argue that if the starvation did happen, it was a natural occurrence. Or they somehow imply the Ukrainians brought the whole thing on themselves because of their sense of national pride, or because of they stood in the way of progress. Statements and attitudes that are grotesque and horrible, but for some reason have been allowed and even encouraged.
All holocaust denial is wrong.
All denial of human cruelty is wrong. All feelings of racial superiority is wrong. A dead baby is a dead baby. White, black, Jewish, gentile, Ukrainian, Canadian. We now know Soviet Communism was a hellish ideology that had as little concern for life as German National Socialism.
