US delegation to Ukraine included critic of Jews

A delegation sent by President Bush to Ukraine's presidential inauguration last weekend included a Ukrainian-American activist who has accused Jews of manipulating the Holocaust for their own gain and blamed them for Soviet-era atrocities in Ukraine. The man in question, Myron B. Kuropas wrote in 2000 that 'Big money drives the Holocaust industry'. Following the revelation, a White House official, said "We were not aware of his previous statements. Had we been aware of such comments beforehand, we would not have invited Dr. Kuropas to be a member of the delegation.''
