Anthony Rota had recognised 98-year old Yaroslav Hunka as a ‘Ukranian hero’ before Parliament.
WASHINGTON: The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons on Sunday apologised for praising an individual at a parliamentary meeting who served in a Nazi unit during World War II.
Rota in a statement took responsibility for what was characterized as an oversight, calling the initiative “entirely my own.” The recognition came following a visit by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, who thanked Canada for its assistance in his country’s war against Russia. “At a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust distortion, it is incredibly disturbing to see Canada’s Parliament rise to applaud an individual who was a member of a unit in the Waffen-SS, a Nazi military branch responsible for the murder of Jews and others,” the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said in a statement while demanding an apology earlier Sunday.
