History
Wasyl Odynsky was born on January 8, 1924.
During the Second World War, Odynsky served as a guard in an auxiliary unit at the Trawniki and Poniatowa forced labour camps in Poland.
Following the war, Odynsky immigrated to Canada in 1949.
On September 24, 1997, Odynsky was charged by the Canadian Government for having misrepresented himself upon immigrating to Canada. The Canadian Government tried to revoke Odysnky’s Canadian citizenship through the denaturalization and deportation process. On March 2, 2001, Judge Andrew MacKay of the Federal Court of Canada concluded that Odynsky’s service was not voluntary and he did not personally participate in any incident involving the mistreatment of prisoners or of any other person during his service. Although his citizenship was not revoked, numerous bids were made to try and revoke Odynsky’s Canadian citizenship in subsequent years.
Wasyl Odynsky died on May 16, 2014.
