Skeetchestn World War II soldiers put their lives on the line to defend us against racist and anti-Semitic ideas. It would dishonor the memory of their sacrifice to remain silent on this issue. Having been the victims of racist government policies ourselves, we must send a strong message that Mr. Ahenikew's remarks are totally unacceptable and have no legitimate place in a free society that respects human rights.
