Auschwitz and the so-called Soviet liberation of Poland

  It's not as black and white as you might think: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/02/poland-holocaust-death-camps/552455/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/02/po...

    My interpretation of your comment is that you are claiming that it is not black and white that Poland was not the instigator of WW2. If I have misunderstood, can you please clarify what you are claiming is not black and white? Otherwise, can you please clarify what part of that article supports your claim?

      Sorry, never wanted to claim that Poland as a country was anything but a victim that suffered under German war terror and also under the Soviet union. I just thought it's an interesting fact that anti-semitism was popular also in the polish populace and poeple particated in cruel crimes on their own. It was not my intention to spread some revisionist bullshit (which the article imho isn't) and neither I wanted to dispute that Germany is responsibly for Auschwitz. Should have made that more clear. I just thought it's interesting and not widely known.

        Thank you for clarifying! Sadly, you're right. Antisemitism does not appear to respect any national boundaries in Europe [1] or anywhere else [2].

  So many horrors and injustices committed against the Jewish nation. That's why I support unconditionally the State of Israel as the last guarantor of the Jewish identity and culture. (I am brown if that matters)
