Via the Polish embassy to America, watch President Mateusz Morawiecki's official statement on that nation's new holocaust law.
He makes good points, points made here as well. Poland was dismembered by Hitler and Stalin and more than 3 million Poles died. We are not counting the 3 million Polish Jews killed. They wouldn't have in 1939. They were Jews, not Poles. Both sides new that.
In essence Morawiecki is trying to link the Polish WWII experience with the Jewish Holocaust. Morawiecki also links, shall we call it, 'German denialism' with Holocaust Denial.
The statement is heartfelt and passionate and we think he means it.
There's nothing untrue in the statement, but these facts do not absolve the Polish people of their complicity in the holocaust.
