President Trump Deports WWII Nazi Collaborator
This week, a 95-year-old former Nazi collaborator, who served as a labor camp guard during World War II was finally deported to Germany after a long immigration battle in the United States. Jakiw Palij worked as a guard at the Trawniki Labor Camp in (what was then) German-occupied Poland. On November 3, 1943, as part of the Nazi’s “Operation Harvest Festival,” around 6,000 Jewish prisoners at the camp were shot to death in trenches they were forced to dig themselves.
