responses were negative.
CASE NO. 431. This individual was brought to the attention of the Commission
by the RCMP, whose source of information was Mr. Sol Littman. Mr. Littman had
forwarded a letter to the RCMP from a private individual. It was alleged in
the letter that the subject under investigation had been in charge of an
unnamed camp and was believed to have shot civilians. ... The Commission
interviewed the individual who submitted the subject's name to Mr. Littman and
was advised that this individual had subsequently determined that the subject
under investigation had been a prisoner of war and further that the complaint
was unfounded.
CASE NO. 433. This individual was brought to the attention of the Commission
by the RCMP, whose source of information was an anonymous informant. The only
allegation made was that the subject was "a possible German involved in war
crimes". No specific allegation or evidence against the subject was provided.
... The Commission reviewed material available from the RCMP and CSIS, which
determined that the subject was born in 1933, and for that reason could not
have been involved in the commission of war crimes between 1939 and 1945.
CASE NO. 526. This individual was brought to the attention of the Commission
by the Canadian Jewish Congress, whose source of information was a private
individual. It was alleged that the subject under investigation might be Dr.
Josef Mengele. ... The Department of External Affairs reported that it had a
record in respect of the individual, but that the individual had been born in
1928 in Canada.... ... Furthermore, the subject's name is not one of the
aliases used from time to time by Josef Mengele.
CASE NO. 561. This individual was brought to the attention of the Commission
by the RCMP, whose source of information was the Canadian Jewish Congress. It
was alleged that the subject was responsible for the deaths of "hundreds of
Jews." No specific evidence of the alleged war crimes was provided. ...
Records of the Department of Employment and Immigration ... indicate that the
subject was born in 1941....
CASE NO. 588.1. This individual was brought to the attention of the Commission
by the RCMP, who were investigating the suspicions of the Department of
Employment and Immigration officials that the individual might be older than he
claims and might be hiding a questionable past, which may have involved the
Nazi Party. ... It was verified [through various investigations] that the
subject is indeed who he claims to be and that he was indeed born in 1929. He
was barely 10 years old at the start of the war.
Sol Littman's Mengele Scare
As another piece of evidence that we are in the midst of a witch hunt a witch hunt in which
Simon Wiesenthal plays the role of chief inquisitor - consider Sol Littman's Mengele Scare. On
December 20, 1984, Mr. Littman - Canadian representative of the Simon Wiesenthal Center - wrote
to the Prime Minister of Canada unequivocally affirming that
Mengele, employing the alias of Dr. Joseph Menke, applied to the Canadian
embassy in Buenos Aires for admission to Canada as a landed immigrant in late
May or early June, 1962. (In Jules Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War
Criminals, 1986, p. 67)
Then on January 23, 1985, Ralph Blumenthal wrote an article in the New York Times captioned
"Records indicate Mengele sought Canadian visa":
Other records indicate that Mengele applied to the Canadian Embassy in Buenos
Aires for a Canadian visa in 1962 under a pseudonym and that the Canadians
informed American intelligence officials of this attempt.
This information was widely reprinted and broadcast. Subsequently, both Mr. Blumenthal and Mr.
Littman affirmed that the information in this article concerning Josef Mengele came solely from
Mr. Littman. However, following its thorough investigation, the Commission concluded:
There is no documentary evidence whatsoever of an attempt by Dr. Joseph
Mengele to seek admission to Canada from Buenos Aires in 1962.
The affirmation has come from Mr. Sol Littman, and from him alone. ...
The advice which Littman solicited [in the course of his own research] ...
did not support his assumptions, but put him on notice about their fragility.
As stated at the outset, all that Littman could rely on was "speculation,
impression, possibility, hypothesis". Yet he chose to transmute them into
statements of facts which he publicized....
This is a case where not a shred of evidence has been tendered to support
Mr. Littman's statement to the Prime Minister of Canada on 20 December 1984, or
Mr. Ralph Blumenthal's article in the New York Times on 23 January 1985.
(Jules Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p. 70)
In view of Sol Littman's irresponsibility in engineering the Mengele Scare, it is not a little
ironic to note that it was this very scare which was the prime cause of the Canadian government
constituting the Jules Deschenes Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals. We see this
demonstrated when the reasons for the Commission being constituted are laid out, and Sol
Littman's Mengele disinformation - at the time accepted as information - appears at the top of
the list:
WHEREAS concern has been expressed about the possibility that Joseph Mengele,
an alleged Nazi war criminal, may have entered or attempted to enter
Canada.... (Jules Deschenes, Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, 1986, p.
17)
What we see in Sol Littman, then, is a case somewhat paralleling that of Morley Safer - a single
Jew creates a story out of thin air, and gets it disseminated to tens of millions of people
through a Jewish-controlled media which conveniently neglects to verify it prior to
publication. In Littman's case, he goes well beyond dissemination - he further succeeds in
pressuring the Canadian government to waste taxpayer money (always in short supply for education
and health care) on a costly inquiry which turns up just about nothing, and whose only
appreciable benefit is not to the Canadian people, and not even to Jews collectively, but only
to Sol Littman personally - which benefit is the stirring up of Jewish anxiety on the one hand
together with anti-Jewish resentment on the other, both of which are necessary to increasing the
flow of Jewish contributions into Sol Littman's coffers. Sol Littman, in short, is a parasite
upon the Jewish people, preying on the fears of the more gullible of them, essentially playing a
role not unlike that of Stephen King in which the bigger a scare he is able to elicit out of his
audience by means of the fantastic stories he is able to concoct, the greater is his success.
Repeating the same principle in different words, we may say that the more anti-Semitism Sol
Littman is able to provoke, the greater is his success.
How does Sol Littman come to be in the vanguard of the fight to suppress hate on the Internet?
Consider the information on Sol Littman which can be found on The Ukrainian Archive: (1)
Reviewing the sampling higher above of irresponsible denunciations submitted to the Deschenes
Commission, we note that four of them were submitted by Sol Littman, suggesting that in the full
list of denunciations, his contribution would have been substantial. (2) The Sol Littman
Mengele scare immediately above. (3) My 27May98 letter to Demjanjuk persecutor Neal Sher, in
which I present data supporting the conclusion that Neal Sher and Sol Littman are members of a
subculture who lie not only to those who are not members of their subculture, but to each other
as well, thus steeping themselves in untruths. Still more information is available on a web
site unconnected to UKAR devoted exclusively to exposing Sol Littman. Given the present UKAR
disclosure of Sol Littman's irresponsibility, and given the similar disclosure on other sites on
the Internet, as the one cited above, it is little wonder that Sol Littman is today a leading
exponent for society bestowing upon him (and others like him) the power to suppress information
on the Internet when he decides (or they decide) that it expresses "hate." Perhaps a suspicion
that it would be healthy to occasionally entertain is that those who call loudest for the
suppression of information may be those with the most to hide.
Salem's Was Not the Last Witch Hunt
Surely the above data convinces us that many of the horrors that we all despise - that even Mr.
Safer might profess to despise - are being realized as contemporary actualities. Slanderous and
unfounded allegations. Anonymous letters of accusation. Government agencies investigating
people for no other reason than that someone has submitted their names. McCarthyism. A witch
hunt. Individuals accused of having committed war crimes while they were still in diapers. And
instead of standing back from this mass hysteria or exposing it, 60 Minutes has chosen instead
to play a contributory role.
The Deschenes Commission cites 31 newspaper accounts between 1971 and 1986 of Nazi war criminals
residing in Canada, and points out that this list is not exhaustive. Decades of coverage of
such sensational accusations leaves a permanent impression on the minds of the public, while the
Deschenes Commission refutation takes place only once, and does not carry the same lurid
appeal. The net effect is a propaganda victory for the false accusers. 60 Minutes is making
its contribution to this phenomenon - its false accusations in "The Ugly Face of Freedom" were
long and sensational and will be remembered by many, its retraction will be short and dull and
will be remembered by few. 60 Minutes hands Ukrainophobes another victory.
Letters to Simon Wiesenthal
I have written a number of letters to Simon Wiesenthal asking for his clarification on the
issues raised above, and on other issues relating to his credibility and to his calumniation of
Ukraine. These letters can be found by clicking the above link. Other material relating to
Simon Wiesenthal can be found scattered throughout the UKAR site, and can be located using the
Internal Search Engine whose link can be found on the Home Page. One item particularly worth
mentioning might be my sixth letter to Michael Jordan, Chairman of Westinghouse. Following
examination of any of these materials, clicking BACK on your browser will return you to this

What Happened in Lviv?
According to Simon Wiesenthal on the 60 Minutes broadcast, in three days following the
evacuation of the Communist forces and before the arrival of the German troops, Ukrainian police
killed between five and six thousand Jews:
SAFER: He [Simon Wiesenthal] remembers that even before the Germans arrived,
Ukrainian police went on a 3-day killing spree.
WIESENTHAL: And in this 3 days in Lvov alone between 5 and 6 thousand Jews was
killed.
...
SAFER: But even before the Germans entered Lvov, the Ukrainian militia, the
police, killed 3,000 people in 2 days here.
Some 60 Minutes viewers may have been struck by the curious observation that while the 60
Minutes expert witness - Simon Wiesenthal - claimed that the number of Jews killed was "between
5 and 6 thousand," in three days, the interviewer - Morley Safer chose to reduce that number
killed to "3,000" and the duration of the killing to two days - but without informing the viewer
on what grounds he did so.
Let us begin our examination of this claim by reviewing the historical context.
Historical Context of the Lviv Pogrom
Eight Years Previously. Although Western Ukraine was spared the induced famine of 1932-1933 in
which some six million Ukrainians perished, Western Ukrainians were nevertheless aware of the
famine in adjacent Soviet Ukraine and aware that it was administered at the top by Lazar
Kaganovich, a Jew, and was supported at the bottom by cadres, many said to be Jewish, who moved
from village to village confiscating grain and livestock.
During the previous 21 months. Western Ukraine was annexed by Soviet forces in 1939 for a
period of 21 months until the Germans arrived in 1941. What was the experience of Western
Ukrainians under Russian communism? It was traumatic. On top of suppression of culture and
confiscation of property, there was terror:
The most widespread and feared measure was deportation. Without warning,
without trial, even without formal accusation, thousands of alleged "enemies of
the people" were arrested, packed into cattle cars, and shipped to Siberia and
Kazakhstan to work as slave laborers under horrible conditions. Many of these
deportees, including entire families, perished. ... According to Metropolitan
