Scaramouche looks into the latest fabulousness at Winnipeg’s Human Rights Mausoleum:
Al the Fish draws our attention to this, an ’07 article in the ‘Peg Free Press about the fundraising efforts of ‘Peg motel tycoon, Leo Ledohowski.
According to the article, Ledohowski took it upon himself to raise mucho dinero from the Ukrainian community--which he did. I don’t know if Ledohowski and the others thought that in so doing they were buying the Holodomor a spot as a permant exhibit inside the edifice (along with the Holocaust and the genocide of Aborignals).
I do know that that community has been relentless in pushing for permanent exhibit status (because, understandably, they don’t want their genocide to be accorded second class status and lost in the shuffle in the risibly-named “Mass Atrocity zone”).
I also know that only a few days ago someone with the same last name as the tycoon was appointed to the mausoleum’s board of trustees.
As I commented to Al: Something really smells here. Why isn’t anyone in the mainstream media looking into this stuff?
