The Speaker of Canada's House of Commons resigned following a scandal surrounding his leading a standing ovation for a 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant who was revealed to have fought in a Nazi unit during World War II.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and House Speaker Anthony Rota have apologized for leading a standing ovation in Parliament to a 98-year-old Ukrainian veteran, Yaroslav Hunka, who was later revealed to have served in a Nazi military unit during World War II.

The Canadian Parliament honored 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran who fought with the SS Galichina, a unit associated with Nazi war crimes during World War II.

Two monuments honoring the SS Galichina, a unit of Ukrainian soldiers that fought under Hitler in World War II, have been discovered in a Catholic cemetery near Philadelphia and on a Ukrainian credit union building in Warren, Michigan.

Two monuments to the SS Galichina, a Ukrainian division of the SS (Schutzstaffel) known for its involvement in war crimes during World War II, have been discovered near Philadelphia and Detroit.

The Forward published an investigative project documenting the presence of monuments worldwide to individuals involved in the Holocaust, such as Philippe Ptain in Canada and Roman Shukhevych in Edmonton, who were Nazi collaborators responsible for atrocities against Jews and others during World War II.
