Eleven Jewish Democrats in Congress expressed their disappointment to President Bush for including a controversial Ukrainian-American in a delegation to Ukraine. Myron Kuropas, said by Democrats to be a major Republican donor, accompanied the official U.S. delegation to last month’s swearing-in of newly elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko. Kuropas has said that Ukrainians suffered more than Jews during World War II and has accused Jews of manipulating a “Holocaust industry.”
