I would be as upset with Germany if it had monuments to Hitler and other Nazis as I am with America that we still have monuments to Civil War leaders. It is our country's job to show our citizens why such displays are unacceptable. At least Germany admits their error, but it is only recently that USA monuments are correctly being removed because they are a nod to continued racism. None of the monuments that I found in Ukraine were Germans, only Ukrainians.
I am aware that Ukrainians collaborated with the Germans in WWII, so did nearly every country in Europe. The entire Vichy government in France was created and supported by Hitler. 72,000 French Jews were killed by the Nazis. French historians, like American historians on the issue of race, have covered up the extent of French complicity with the Nazis. Shall we use it as an excuse to invade France today?
The Ukrainians that collaborated hated Stalin's rule more that Hitler's. That doesn't justify the slaughter of Jews, but the current oppressor is always the worst oppressor whether it's a communist or a fascist dictator. Long before WWII Stalin wiped out millions of people in the Russian-Soviet orbit that questioned his power and Ukrainians did not want to be bullied by Stalin and Russia. They still don't and shouldn't have to be.
