YSK: There are hundreds of monuments around the world to people who abetted or took part in the murder of Jews and others during the Holocaust

All the stuff in the USA named after Von Braun doesn't surprise me.

Really interesting to see all the stuff named after Philippe Pétain in the USA. Looks like it was banned after him in the 1920s-1930s due to his role for France/allies in WWI. Then he became a Nazi collaborator later.

Good reminder of why you shouldn't name things after people who are still alive.

I knew what and where my towns one was before I opened the article... And I was right.

I have a thought, what if we idealized ideas, and buried the people who said them? I mean, everyone knows that Americans are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but who cares who said it? Lincoln is attributed the quote, but apparently never said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time...", who cares? The idea is solid, who said it is irrelevant.

I have a hard time believing there’s only one in Russia.

Henri Philippe Pétain and Pierre Laval, the head and prime minister of France’s collaborationist Vichy government which hunted down and deported 67,000 Jews to the concentration camps. In addition to his Broadway plaque, Pétain is honored with 11 streets in the U.S... Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, who have busts in upstate New York and Wisconsin. Bandera headed a faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which allied itself with the Nazis and whose members eagerly participated in the Holocaust. Shukhevych, another Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists figure, was a leader in a Third Reich auxiliary battalion that carried out lethal antisemitic operations in service of the Nazis. Later, Shukhevych commanded the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which massacred thousands of Jews and 70,000 to 100,000 Polish civilians. There are additional Ukrainian nationalist busts in New York and Ohio. Andrey Vlasov, the Soviet general who went over to the Nazis and raised an army of over 100,000 men for the Third Reich, has a memorial just outside New York. Dragoljub Mihailović, who led the Serbian Chetnik paramilitary that fought with Nazi Germany and carried out ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims, has statues in Cleveland, Milwaukee and two Chicago suburbs. Chicago also has a memorial to Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas, who commanded a unit of the Lithuanian Activist Front, a Nazi-allied organization whose members slaughtered Jews across Lithuania in the summer of 1941... You’ll see it in Viktor Orban’s Hungary, where far-right figures use elaborate ceremonies anchored to WWII anniversaries to draw neo-Nazis across Europe; Ukraine, where the rehabilitators of Bandera work to turn the country into a hub of transnational white supremacy; Croatia, where men carrying WWII fascist symbols marched in support of Donald Trump; and France, where the far-right Marine LePen rallies supporters by insisting that France has no responsibility for the Holocaust. You’ll see it in a dozen other nations as well...

I'm not queer, I'm "Jew and other"
