“Soviet refugee” is kinda misleading because it looks like her family fled from Banderites
I know this personally — my father’s family was lucky to flee in the nick of time, avoiding the fate of over a million Ukrainian Jews murdered during the Holocaust. The role that local Ukrainians played in murdering their Jewish neighbors with the Nazis, whether by force or with enthusiasm, is a painful question only beginning to be studied. My dad, who grew up in Ukraine, had to later leave it as well because it was so difficult for a Jew to be accepted in a Ukrainian university.

The vagueness of this statement feels nefarious. As if she knows who is truly at fault, but doesn’t want to say it out loud because in her book she is glazing up the man who is propping up the supporters of said perpetrators. She has the moral backbone of a chocolate éclair.

Damn. Imagine being from this family and backing modern Bandereich. Peak mental gymnastics.
