“Lviv re-enacts the June 30, 1941 Ukrainian National revolution (and the German invasion). Parents dress their children in ethnic outfits to applaud the men in SS uniforms. The driver of the sidecar MC even grew a little Hitler mustache. No re-enactment of the pogroms, it seems,” says Dr Per Rudling (more photos on zaxid.net).

How tasteless is this sort of national(istic) Carneval?
It does not really come over as the re-enactment of a trauma…
