      “The Estonian summer camp does not now and has never honoured Nazi collaborators and our children have never been indoctrinated into worshipping Nazi leaders as alleged.”

      She added that the campers also commemorate Black Ribbon Day, which is formally recognized by the European Union and Canada as a day of remembrance for victims of Stalinism and Nazism.

        “sure we had a monument to Nazi officers that we had children honour and lay wreaths upon but we would never indoctrinate our children into worshipping Nazi leaders! Now excuse me, I have to head back to the Franz Augsberger Memorial Summer Camp”

      Oh it’s available in one other language, I wonder what language it is…

      I love having the fast, on-device firefox translation to get different points of view. Open the ukranian version and read it in english.

      Much the same but some slight differences of opinion.

      Both articles do cite More Ukrainian monuments desecrated in Edmonton - New Pathway Ukrainian News | Новий Шлях Українські Вісті which is wild denialism.
