      It’s good to know our own history and also so we don’t mistakenly applaud fascists in our parliament again, or if they want to run for public offices, or pass regressive bylaws, or if their descendants are part of certain separatist movements.

      That’s why this is specific to war criminals.

        Are any of these people even still alive?
