Burning of Odessa’s House of Trade Unions Building on May 2, 2014.
On May 2, the 8-year anniversary of the Odessa House of Trade Unions massacre was commemorated in Baltimore.
The anniversary is particularly important this year as the U.S. corporate media continue to spread war lies about the situation in Ukraine.
On May 2, 2014 nearly 50 anti-fascists were massacred in Odessa, Ukraine. Activists were attacked by a racist neo-Nazi mob. Activists were driven into the House of Trade Unions, which was then set afire. Some anti-fascists were burned alive; others were shot or beaten to death as they tried to escape the blaze. The youngest victim was just 17.
Baltimore solidarity activists read the names of those who died, performed a rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” and mounted a memorial on a fence next to the Harriet Tubman Solidarity Center. The commemoration was initiated by the Baltimore Socialist Unity Party.
