At least 12 former members of the SS Galicia Division donated money to the University of Alberta in Canada. There was an educational foundation named after the Ukrainian SS man Yaroslav Hunka, the Globe and Mail reports, citing Swedish historian Per Anders Rudling.
Earlier, the Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov said that the University of Alberta decided to close the Hunka Educational Foundation a few hours after the Russian Embassy contacted it.
Rudling discovered about 12 former members of the division (SS Galicia) who donated funds to the institute. A historian has called on the University of Alberta to return donations from people associated with the division.
The SS Division “Galicia” was formed in April 1943 and existed until the following summer, when the Red Army defeated it near the town of Brody in the vicinity of Lvov. The division’s soldiers committed war crimes against civilians.
