(6) Group cohesion. The incitement of fear and hatred in Jews increases popular
support for, and the flow of private donations to, Jewish leaders. A focus is needed
for that fear and hatred. At the moment, Ukrainians have been chosen to be that focus.
Most of the above assertions have been documented, sometimes at length, on the Ukrainian
Archive at www.ukar.org. If you would like me to direct your attention to documentation
concerning any particular assertion - whether that documentation is on the Ukrainian
Archive or elsewhere - please let me know and I will be happy to oblige.
Twelve minutes to restored credibility
I think you will have no trouble accomodating all of the above points into a single 60
Minutes segment. If you do, and if you broadcast that segment, you will turn your
currently failing grades for competence and integrity into high As, and you will lift
the status of 60 Minutes to a level never before reached in American journalism. If you
do not, you will credit 60 Minutes with the dubious achievement of having broadcast the
most concentrated segment of hate propaganda ever to make its appearance in the
mainstream media.

following entry: "An international medical commission with representation from neutral
powers examines the graves of 9,439 victims of NKVD shootings (1937-8) in Vinnytsia"
(Yury Boshyk, Ukraine during World War II: History and its aftermath, Canadian Institute

Morley Safer:
Jews massacred Ukrainians in pre-German Lviv
One cannot read the history of the 1941 German invasion of Ukraine without endlessly
bumping into accounts of the massacre of Ukrainians by the retreating Jewish-dominated
NKVD. In reinforcement of the many quotations which I brought to your attention in my
letter to you of 04Jul99, I presently enclose the chapter-long statement of Alfred M. de
Zayas, and I add below the briefer statement of Nicolas Werth:
The rapid German advance in the first months of the war forced the NKVD
to evacuate several prisons, labor colonies, and camps that would
otherwise have fallen into enemy hands. Between July and December
1941, 210 colonies, 135 prisons, and 27 camps, containing nearly
750,000 prisoners, were transferred to the east. Summarizing "gulag
activity in the Great Patriotic War," the Gulag chief, Ivan Nasedkin,
