    “Even if this was just simple stupidity or an immature outburst, we should pray that human sensitivity, our Christian sensitivity, was also expressed in the fact that we are able to say and repeat with deep respect — we’re sorry,” Komorowski said today in Cieszyn, Poland.

    The slogans in green paint included “They were flammable” and “I’m not sorry about Jedwabne,” a reference to a massacre in northeastern Poland.

    A book by Polish-born Princeton professor Jan Tomasz Gross on the Jedwabne murders, published in 2000, sparked a debate about Polish participation in the Holocaust. An estimated 3 million Polish Jews were killed during World War II, mostly in Nazi concentration camps.
