Far Right Protesters Gather at Auschwitz During Annual Camp Liberation Commemoration

Far right ONR (National Radical Camp) activists walk past the “Arbeit Macht Frei” gate at the former Nazi German concentration …

Seventy years later and the Polish government STILL won’t take responsibility for the nation’s antisemitism. Disgusting.

“In another location at the site, far right protesters wrapped in Polish flags, some stamped with the words “Polish Holocaust,” laid flowers and sang the Polish national anthem.”The Jewish nation and Israel is doing everything to change the history of the Polish nation,” said Piotr Rybak of the Polish Independence Movement, who led Sunday’s protest. “Polish patriots cannot allow this.”

Asked by an opposition politician on Twitter how long it would take the government to react to such situations, Interior Minister Joachim Brudzinski wrote: “React to what? To the fact that someone is not in their right mind and blames all the evil in this world and his frustrations on a particular nation?”“If you are trying to blame this government for anti-Semitism in the heads of seriously crazy (I believe) fools, it is indecent and unwise,” he added.

The protest comes at a time of surging antisemitism in parts of Europe and as critics accuse the PiS of trying to build a nationalist sense of grievance among Poles by seeking to minimize Polish complicity in the Holocaust.“
