Danny Dayan, chairman of Yad Vashem dealing with the Holocaust, today (Monday) reacted sharply to the outraged remarks of the Russian Foreign Minister, Lavrov, about the comparison of Zalansky to Hitler.
Dayan tweeted on his Twitter and wrote: “Lavrov’s words are absurd, delusional, dangerous and deserving of any condemnation. Lavrov deals with the reversal of the Holocaust: turning the victims into criminals, on the basis of promoting a completely unfounded claim as if Hitler was of Jewish descent.”
“Equally serious is the nicknames of the Ukrainians and Zlansky as Nazis. This is a complete distortion of the concept and an injury to the victims of Nazism,” he added.
In an interview with Gali Tzahal, Dayan replied that Yad Vashem would accept Lavrov if he wanted to learn about the Holocaust: “If the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov asks to visit Yad Vashem to study – we will accept him. He crossed a red line, blaming the Jews for the Holocaust is an unacceptable blood libel. “
Lavrov said in an interview with the Italian media that He “believes that Hitler also had Jewish blood.” He attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zalansky and said that the fact that he was a Jew “does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine”.
