A monument honoring Ukrainian soldiers who served in a Nazi division during World War II has been removed from a cemetery in Ontario after years of lobbying by Jewish leaders and others.
The monument to the 14 th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) was erected in 1988 at West Oak Memorial Gardens, which is owned by St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery, in Oakville, about 20 miles from Toronto. The marker bears the lion and crown insignia of the division, which is also known as SS Galizien and SS Galichina.
