Wiesenthal Identifies 2 Nazis in Canada
LOS ANGELES (JTA) —
Simon Wiesenthal has iden-
tified two Nazi war crimi-
nals living in Canada and
has urged Canada's Sol-
icitor General, Robert Kap-
lan, to initiate action
against them, the Simon
Wiesenthal Center at
Yeshiva University here
reported. Wiesenthal, who
heads the war crimes
documentation center based
in Vienna, estimates that
some 1,000 Nazi war crimi-
nals presently live in
Canada.
His letter to Kaplan,
dated Jan. 4, referred to two
of them, Anton Shpak, alias
Anatol Belotserkovski, and
Bogda Babiak, both Ukrai-
nians by birth. According to
Wiesenthal, Shpak is a
former deputy chief of police
in Bela Tzerkow, Ukraine,
near Kiev, who participated
in the mass execution of
about 2,000 Jews between
October 1941 and February
1943.
Babiak was identified as
a former leader of the SS
Ukrainian "Galizien" di-
vision, based in Lemberg.
The division was estab-
lished in 1943 by
Reichsfuhrer Heinrich
Himmler to enlist Ukrai-
nian volunteers on the
Russian front where the
Wehrmacht was taking a
drubbing from the Red
Army. The "Galizien" di-
vision was identified at
the Nuremberg war
crimes trials as a "crimi-
nal organization which

carried out crimes
against humanity and
other atrocities."
Immediately after the
war, members of the di-
vision were imprisoned in
Rimini, Italy under Ameri-
can military jurisdiction.
According to the Wiesent-
hal Center, many of the Uk-
rainians, who were
Catholic, obtained help
from Vatican sources and
managed to reach the
United States and Canada.
Babiak now lives in
Montreal where he has been
employed for 21 years as an
assistant clerk at Stein-
berg's, a major grocery
chain.
Shpak's present where-
abouts are uncertain. Wie-
senthal Center officials
have informed Kaplan that
a man matching his descrip-
tion is living in Quebec
under the name of Belotser-
kovski. Kaplan has been
urged to determine whether
these men lied about their
wartime activities when
they were admitted to
Canada.
Meanwhile, the Cana-
dian Jewish Congress
(CJC) has called on the
government to de-
naturalize Nazi war crim-
inals who lied about their
past when they obtained
Canadian citizenship.
War criminals cannot be
tried under Canadian law
for offenses committed
abroad against non-
Canadian nationals.
Canada moreover has no ex-
tradition treaties with
many of the Soviet bloc
countries where the crimes
occurred during World War
Andrew Caddell, special
assistant to Solicitor Gen-
eral Robert Kaplan, has
confirmed that the CJC
proposal is being explored
as a worthWhile approach.
But he could not say
whether the government is
committed to it or, if so,
when the first alleged war
criminal would be charged.
Meanwhile, a team of the
Royal Canadian Mounted
Police has been studying
the files on war criminals
living in Canada.
