KATRIUK. The most Wanted Nazi
Vladimir Katriuk (1 October 1921 – 22 May 2015) was a Canadian man of Ukrainian ancestry, born in the village of Luzhany, near the city of Chernivtsi. Chernivtsi is situated in the region known as Bukovina, which in 1921 was part of the Kingdom of Romania. Katriuk was accused by the Simon Wiesenthal Center of having been an active participant in the Khatyn massacre during World War II.[1][2] In 2012, Katriuk was ranked number three on the List of Most Wanted Nazi War Criminals according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.Katriuk denied any involvement in war crimes.In 1942 Katriuk joined Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 to fight the Soviet partisans. Katriuk's Nazi ties were known at the time of the Federal Court of Canada decision, but more details did not emerge until the release in 2008 of KGB interrogation reports at the trial of Grigory Vasiura, one of the battalion officers.[3] The new KGB documents, yet unseen by the general public, claim that Katriuk was directly involved in the Khatyn massacre.In an article published in Holocaust and Genocide Studies,Lund University historian Per Anders Rudling, relying on new KGB interrogation reports, wrote that “One witness stated that Volodymyr Katriuk was a particularly active participant in the atrocity: he reportedly lay behind the stationary machine gun, firing rounds on anyone attempting to escape the flames.”Another Soviet war crimes trial in 1973 heard that Katriuk and two others killed a group of Belarusian loggers earlier on that day, suspecting they were part of a popular uprising. "I saw how Ivankiv was firing with a machine-gun upon the people who were running for cover in the forest, and how Katriuk and Meleshko were shooting the people lying on the road," the witness said.Katriuk was a member of Schutzmannschaft Battalion 118 that helped the Nazis to create "dead zones."The dead zone policy involved exterminating Soviet partisans who had launched ambushes against Nazi forces.Katriuk claimed in Federal Court that in August 1944 he defected with the entire battalion and joined the French Resistance to fight the Nazis. Later that year he was transferred to the French Foreign Legion,[5] as a private, and was one of twenty to twenty-five volunteers who were dispatched by their French commanders to go to the front to fight the German army. Katriuk was placed in charge of a machine gun and, during the course of his service, was severely injured.He spent two and a half months in an American hospital in France.[6] Katriuk claimed to have fought later at the Italian front near Monaco until the end of the World War II.[6] He remained in the Foreign Legion to avoid repatriation,[5] but deserted while on leave in July 1945. He obtained false identity papers with a new birthday, under the name of his brother-in-law, and got a job in a butcher shop in Paris.In 1951 Katriuk immigrated to Canada from France. In 1959, Katriuk became a beekeeper in Ormstown, Quebec,[8] where he owned a beekeeping farm and lived in a small house on the property with his wife.In 1999 a Federal Court of Canada decision[6] concluded that Katriuk immigrated to Canada in 1951 under a pseudonym and obtained his Canadian citizenship by providing false information.However, the Federal Court of Canada found no evidence that Kartiuk had participated in war crimes,[1][2][6] and in 2007, the Cabinet of Canada decided not to revoke Katriuk's citizenship.[2] According to Avi Benlolo, president and CEO of the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, when he presented new research regarding the Vladimir Katriuk case to Rob Nicholson and the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada Minister Jason Kenney in April 2012 they said that they would investigate it.
Katriuk died of a stroke in Quebec on 22 May 2015 at the age of 93.Shortly before his death the Investigative Committee of Russia called on Canada to deport Katriuk to the Russian Federation so he could stand trial, according to international law; the Canadian government, whose relations with the Russian government have been strained since the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, ignored the request

HEINRICH BOERE. NAZI. TRIED AT 90 YEARS AGE BY GERMANY
Heinrich Boere (27 September 1921 – 1 December 2013) was a convicted German-Dutch war criminal and former member of the Waffen-SS. He was on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals.
In 1943, Boere became a member of a 15-man Waffen-SS squad of Dutch volunteers, the Sonderkommando Feldmeijer, tasked with killing members of the Dutch resistance and anti-German citizens in retaliation for acts of resistance against the Nazi occupation of their country.[3] Following attacks on German occupation forces and Dutch collaborators, the SS and Police Leader for the Netherlands, Hanns Albin Rauter, ordered the Sonderkommando to retaliate by assassinating civilians presumed to be in some way connected to the resistance.This operation, codenamed Silbertanne (Silver Fir), was responsible for probably 54 known killings, three of which Boere admitted to committing.Boere’s first killing was committed in July 1944 when he and fellow SS member Jacobus Petrus Besteman received orders from the local Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) office in Breda to murder a pharmacist named Fritz Hubert Ernst Bicknese, father of twelve. Wearing civilian clothes, Boere and Besteman walked into Bicknese’s pharmacy and asked him his identity. Upon a positive reply, Boere fired three shots into Bicknese’s upper body, then Besteman fired several more shots as Bicknese lay on the floor.In September 1944, on a Sunday, Boere and Hendrik Kromhout arrived in Voorschoten at the home of Teun de Groot, a bicycle-shop owner and father of five children, who hid fugitives in his shop and was an acquaintance of anti-Nazi activists. As De Groot, still in his pyjamas, fumbled with his wallet to show his ID papers, Boere and Kromhout shot him. They then went to the apartment of Frans Willem Kusters, forced him into their car, and drove out of town. The pair then falsely claimed that they had a flat tire, stopped the vehicle and shot Kusters.
In the immediate post-war years, Boere spent two years in an Allied prisoner-of-war camp, where he was interrogated and admitted to the three killings. After release from the PoW camp, Boere initially went into hiding out of fear of being sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence, but managed to flee to Germany. In 1949, a Dutch court sentenced Boere to death in absentia for the three murders, for supporting the enemy, and for serving in the army of the enemy. According to Dutch law, the last automatically leads to the loss of Dutch citizenship. Boere claimed German citizenship on the basis of a so-called Führererlass, a law promulgated by Hitler providing all SS-members with German citizenship. This law remained in force during the 1950s and 1960s in Germany, but was later annulled under pressure from the European Union. From that point on, Boere was stateless, which was confirmed during the trial against him that started in October 2009. The German government refused to extradite him. West Germany was responsible for prosecuting war criminals, but Boere was never brought to trial there.The Dutch government repeatedly sought Boere’s extradition. In 1983, a German court refused the Dutch request to hand Boere over to the Dutch authorities on the grounds that Boere might have German citizenship, and Germany, at that time, did not permit extraditing its own nationals. In 2007, a court in Aachen ruled that Boere could serve his sentence in Germany, but an appeals court in Cologne overturned the ruling, saying that the 1949 conviction was invalid because Boere was unable to present a defense. Boere’s case attracted a great deal of public attention and, in 2007, the opposition in the Dutch parliament brought the case up with the Dutch Ministry of Justice. Boere was listed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center as a Nazi war criminal-at-large. Besteman, Boere’s partner in the Bicknese slaying, served time in prison in the Netherlands for his war crimes.
On 14 April 2008 the state prosecution in Dortmund announced it was preparing to file charges against BoereOn 8 January 2009, the State Court of Aachen ruled that Boere was medically unfit and did not have to stand trial in the case.The Provincial Court of Appeal in Cologne ruled on 7 July 2009, that Boere was fit for trial, overturning the lower court's ruling.Following a judicial review by the German Constitutional Court, the court decided not to accept Boere's appeal and ruled further that Boere was indeed fit to stand trial. However, according to the court he would be under medical supervision, being provided with a doctor for the length of the trial. The trial started on 28 October 2009, at Aachen's regional court.In 2009, Boere lived in an old-age home in his birth town of Eschweiler, Germany.He was not taken into custody for the trial against him. In an interview with Der Spiegel, he said, "I'm not interested in what happened back then."In a documentary by Dutch journalists Rob van Olm and Jan Louter, who were the first to bring Boere to the attention of the public, Boere did admit to some feeling of remorse and stated he has confessed his crimes to a priest, and prayed for his victims. On 23 March 2010 in Aachen, Germany, he was sentenced to life in prison. His defence, that he would have been shot had he disobeyed orders (sometimes known as the 'Nuremberg Defense'), was rejected. Following the ruling of the court, his solicitors announced that they would appeal the judgment.After his appeal was rejected, Boere began serving his life sentence on 16 December 2011 at the age of 90.[Boere died on 1 December 2013 while in prison custody at Fröndenberg.

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
{Gandhi Patel and Nehru are seen at a park in Delhi. They are seated on dilapidated cement benches.A phalliwallah( seller of fried ground nuts) approaches them.}
Phalliwallah… phalli phalli.. garam ( hot) garam phalli…Take phalli. enjoy phalli
Gandhi. Hey phalli waale..plesase come here.
( Phalliwala goes near Gandhi)
Patel.Hello brother. How do you sell?.
Phalliwala. Sir, Each phalli costs one rupee.
Patel. Is it for a packet?
Phalliwala.. No sir .It is for each phalli.
Gandhi, eee,,,eee,,, aaa….( He faints with a loud thud from the bench)
Phalliwala. Oh What happened sir? Does he suffer from fits?
Patel.No No.He is a healthy one although he looks sick and bony
Nehru. He got a shock after you told him the rate.
Phalliwala.. Sorry sir. What can I do!
Patel. What you can do?
(People gather around and patel sprays some water brought by a person on Gandhis face. He does not move.)
Patel. What happened to him, strange indeed.
Nehru, Bapu must be acting.
Patel. Come on bhai. How can you say about him like this
Nehru. Cant we get a doctor quickly here? Is there any doctor from the crowd?
A person comes forward.
Doctor. I am Dr Jadoogar. I recently completed my internship after MBBS degree
Patel. Can you examine him?
Patel. Can you examine him?
Doctor. I shall try.
( The doctor takes his steth and tries to examine Gandhi)
Doctor. I do not find any sign of life. There is no heart beat.
Patel. Is it? How can it be?
(Patel examines the steth and finds a big hole in rubber pipe )
Patel. Hey doctor. See this. Why do you keep such gadget? Where did you study?How did you get seat.?
Doctor. You are insulting me
Patel. Relax.These are the basic things for a doctor.
( The doctor gets annoyed and goes away )
(Patel pours two buckets of water over Gandhi. A man from the crowd reacts. His name is Chalu ram)
Chalu ram. Hey.. You will kill him like this. He will freeze.
(Suddenly Gandhi moves. He slowly opens eyes and feebly asks)
Gandhi. Where I am? What happened to me? Where is Phalliwala?
Patel.Oh God. He is saved.
(Gandhi gets up and sits on the bench, Some one brings a cup of got tea and Gandhi sips )
Gandhi. Nice tea.Call Phalliwala here.
Gandhi. Nice tea.Call Phalliwala here.
(Phalliwala goes near Gandhi.)
Gandhi’ Look bhai why phallis are being sold at such high rate
Phalliwala. What to do sir. I used to have small kirana shop for the last twenty years. When Rs 500 and 1000 notes were banned recently by Modi sahib my business went for a six. I incurred great loss and I closed the shop. Then my wife fell sick. The doctors at the hospital were not willing to treat her as I had no cash. She suffered very greatly and then died. We have been ruined by this crazy order of the govt. I have been reduced to this stage from a shop owner to street vendor.
Gandhi. I learnt about it. Very sad and bad. Please give me six ground nuts only. I do not have cash.
( Vendor hands out the nuts and goes away after taking money. The crowd also melts)
Patel. What a ridiculous life is there in India. Poor foolish Indians never dreamt that the PM Modiji would sink them deep after bringing him to opower.
In the distance a song is heard.
Toot gaye sab sapne mere
Ye do naina sawan bhado
Barse sanj sawere
Ye ye.... toot gayi sab sapne mere KL. Saigal from Parwana.. 1946
Ye do naina sawan bhado
Barse sanj sawere
Ye ye.... toot gayi sab sapne mere KL. Saigal from Parwana.. 1946
(Bapu wipes tears with a Khadi hanky.)
Patel. Bapu, Relax. Such things happen when absolute power is given to rulers leading to dictatorship. At present There is no dissent that is effective. Opposition parties are helpless. Govt does whatever it wants. Only thing is that people have to wait till next elections.
Nehru.There is no proper person in opposition. Congress party is shattered with the defeat.
Gandhi.True . We are also helpless. This is a lesson for Indians . They have learnt it in hard way Let us go. It is already late
The trio walks off
CURTAIN FALLS
