43:10 "Today the Galicia SS lie in sparkling new mausoleums while most of the mass graves of the thousands of Jews who were murdered [in Ukraine] are in a state of total neglect. This gathering in modern day Lviv honors both the UPA, a Ukrainian nationalist militia, and the Galicia SS, both of which lent armed thugs to the pogroms of 1941. Lithuania has no intention of trying its elderly citizens for crimes against humanity."

45:00  - "Of the 3000 members of the Einsatzgruppen responsible for the assassination of millions of people, including more than one and a half million Jews, only 200 were put on trial."


It goes without saying that none of the auxiliary police following Ensatzgruppen, SS or any other German division orders were prosecuted either.
