Paul Ukielski, Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance published in the pages of the German “Die Welt” list, which corresponds to the text by Jan Tomasz Gross. “You can not compare the crimes committed on its own behalf and against the Polish state with totalitarian machinery of genocide with state legitimacy of the Third Reich” – says historian.
Ukielski writes that his historical considerations author of “Neighbors” starts “as much spectacular as the false claim that the Poles during the war killed more Jews than the Germans “.
” Contrary to the assertions Gross, the actions of thousands of people who rescued Jews were not taken only on your own. Polish Underground State clearly indicated his attitude to genocide against the Jewish people, criminalizing crimes and denunciations. Within it acted Board Aid to Jews, Zegota “- emphasizes Ukielski.
Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance also recalls the Jan Karski, emissary Polish Underground State, who has carried a report about the Holocaust to the Polish authorities and the British to London, and then introduced him personally to the President of the United States Roosevelt. “It is, among others, via the Polish unsuccessfully demanded help for the Jews” – recalls historian.
While this does not mean that the Poles were not criminals and of deteriorated by the war, is, according to Ukielskiego “not You can compare the crimes on his own behalf and against the Polish state with totalitarian machinery of genocide with state legitimacy of the Third Reich. “
” I do not know how many Jews died at the hands of Poles and how many were zadenuncjowanych. It is also difficult to estimate the number of Germans killed Poles on the fronts of World War II and in the occupied country. All our knowledge, however, suggests that the losses inflicted by Poles, Germans are much higher than the victims of crimes against the Jewish Fellow Citizens “- writes Ukielski.
He added that in Poland There is agreement that every crime must be condemned, but “similar unanimity applies disagreement with the relativism of history, blurring responsibility and falsifying facts.”
