A secret list of hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals welcomed by Canada after the Second World War, drawn up 40 years ago, should remain secret, the information watchdog ruled Friday.

The list of more than 700 suspected Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada has remained unpublished since it was drawn up as part of an official inquiry in 1986.

Among the estimated 5,000 Nazis said to have settled in Argentina were Adolf Eichmann, one of the Holocaust’s architects, and Josef Mengele, the notorious Auschwitz physician who fled Europe under an assumed identity.

Among the Nazi collaborators who came to Canada was Volodymyr Kubiovych, a Ukrainian who helped organize the SS Galicia division of Ukrainian volunteers opposed to Russia’s advance. He was editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine compiled at the University of Alberta, but died in France in 1985. A photograph of a parade in Lviv, Ukraine, in July, 1943, shows Mr. Kubiovych making a Nazi salute alongside Otto Wächter, a senior member of the SS who also served as governor of Galicia and Krakow.

In 2023, there was an outcry after a veteran of the Nazi-led Galicia SS division Yaroslav Hunka, received two standing ovations in the House of Commons during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
