98-year-old Nazi Yaroslav Hunka stands as he receives an ovation after being accidentally honored in Canada's parliament.
  • Canada's parliament accidentally honored a 98-year-old former World War II Nazi soldier.
  • Yaroslav Hunka was introduced as a "Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero" but it was later revealed that he fought for the Waffen-SS.
  • A Polish minister now says he's "taken steps" to extradite the elderly man.

A Polish minister said Tuesday that he has "taken steps" to start the extradition of a 98-year-old Nazi who was accidentally honored in Canada's parliament over the weekend.

Anthony Rota, the speaker of Canada's House of Commons, recognized Yaroslav Hunka last Friday as a "Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero," adding that "we thank him for his service."
