How ironic that among the talks about immigration and blatant targeting of certain ethnic groups in our great nation, we have housed a person that has partial responsibility for one of the world’s grimmest events ever; the holocaust. Hit the jump for more info.

Michael Karkoc, 94, apparently lied to American immigration officials to get into the US in 1949, saying he had performed no military service during the war.
He concealed his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defence Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Galician Division and a Ukrainian nationalist organisation he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of groups whose members were forbidden from entering the US at the time… Nazi SS files say he and his unit were also involved in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, in which the Nazis brutally suppressed a Polish rebellion against German occupation.
