A Few Remarks about Nazis Here
A Russian journalist apologized for writing that the Nazis should have “made lampshades of the forefathers of today’s liberals.”
Ulyana
Skoibeda said Monday that she was sorry for making the statement in an
article that appeared May 15 in the online edition of the Russian daily
Komsomolskaia Pravda.
The office of the daily’s editor in chief said Skoibeda had been “seriously reprimanded.”
Her
comment was widely interpreted as referring to accounts of the use of
human skin harvested from dead Jews during the Holocaust for the making
of lampshades at Buchenwald, a Nazi concentration camp.
She also had written, “We would have fewer problems now.”
Skoibeda
was reacting to statements by liberal politician Leonid Gozman –- who
is Jewish, according to Radio Free Europe -– on Stalin’s wartime
anti-espionage persecution.
