“[T]he 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a heroic act against the German Nazis who established the ghetto & carried out the #Holocaust. During WWII Poland was attacked &occupied by the German Nazi regime,” the Polish Embassy in the United States wrote in a tweet Wednesday to MSNBC.
The World Jewish Congress also called for a retraction.
“The Warsaw Ghetto was a diabolical creation of Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. The Jewish insurgents who rose up fought against Germans,” its president, Ronald Lauder, said Thursday in a statement.
Officials from more than 60 countries, among them Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, are attending a Middle East-themed conference in Warsaw. Mitchell was reporting from Poland on the conference when she made the remark.
Well Poland and the Polish people didn’t stop what was happening in their country, so what are they so ticked off now??? How can one group of people occupy the entire country, there must of been pieces of Poland where maybe the Nazi were not and still remained silent??
Ok lets make the poles happy. The Warsaw Ghetto was an uprising against the Nazis.
Antisemitism was huge in Poland before the war.
The Pollacks yms were perfectly happy when the Jews were sent the gas chambers.
When some Jews returned after the war the poles yms killed them.
