Poland’s PM Attempts to Rewrite Holocaust History
The Jerusalem Post reports that Poland’s prime minister is working with political advisors and journalists in an attempt to rewrite Holocaust history in their country. Leaked emails between the prime minister and journalists reveal a partnership that seeks to change the narrative of Polish involvement in the atrocities committed against the Jewish people. It seems their goal is to show that Polish people suffered under Nazi tyranny just like the Jewish people did.
It’s a proven fact that prior to World War II and leading up to the Holocaust, antisemitism was already present in Polish society. Government authorities took formal measures to exclude Jewish people from key sectors of public life. Now, in an attempt to protect the legacy of his country, the Polish prime minister is digging a moat as he rewrites history. He should act more like the Germans. They owned the ugliness of their history and now they’re working to build bridges with Israel and the Jewish community.
