There were to be 553 names in total, of which 50-60 have been confirmed to be Nazis but 330 probably have ties to Nazis or other fascist organizations.

The only reason the monument hasn’t been unveiled is because Canada made a massive boo-boo last year when they literally applauded an actual Ukrainian Nazi around the same time they were gonna publicly unveil this monument.

Several Jewish groups have been campaigning to have the Nazis removed.

The memorial was also supposed to be only funded by private donations, but somehow that $1.5m of private got a boost of $6m of public funds. Wonder why.
