A Russian official today condemned the fact that Russians were prohibited from attending this year, noting that those attending instead were the grandchildren of the Wermacht and SS.
It reminded me of an interesting article (albeit I ought to state that the article has anti-Soviet ridiculousness in it) I read not too long ago in The New Yorker. (https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-historians-under-attack-for-exploring-polands-role-in-the-holocaust) which seems to indicate Poland’s and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum have completely downplayed and attempted to suppress, through legal means, any historical discussion of any Polish individuals who contributed to and helped the Nazis.
The museum, following this article put our statements attacking the author and claiming any discussion of Polish collaborationism during the Holocaust downplayed German responsibility. So, in the end, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum might not be exactly what one would hope (or even, to some extent, expect) when it comes to historical memory of the Holocaust.
Obligatory (and, sadly, real):
They are doing historical revisionism to deny the fact that communism saved the world and many, many people and that it will do it again.
We have reached new levels of copium lmao
It’s historical revisionism but also specifically Holocaust revisionism… surely the ADL condemned them…
Lmao. Shamelessness, thy name is America.
That is absolutely disgusting.
Polish government invited to this event people currently doing another genocide and also the descendants of those who did this genocide, but didn’t invited descendants of liberators.
Every time a Polish politician opens their mouth, Bierut rolls in his grave
As someone who has had to study special relativity, a paradox usually only seems to exist because you don’t properly understand the facts of the situation.

they really will never forgive the soviets for ending the holocaust. you can feel the seething coming off that sentence like the heat off a furnace in a steel factory.
How dare those evil communists use their army to stop a genocide and force the prisoners to have freedom instead of offering them the choice to remain locked up!
Obviously we Americans would have freed and prevented the killing of any white person, no matter if they were Jewish and as long as they were straight! 😁🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥
Of course the Americans chose not to believe the Soviets about the death camps, that is until the Americans found death camps themselves and had no choice but to admit their mistake.
The Jews were predictably treated horribly by the Americans after the war.
‘Found’ as in discovered or established?
Found as in discovered.
I apologize for the ambiguity.
No, no. I understood. I just thought it worked both ways and wanted to highlight that 😁

Legend has it that I already posted this 1 day too early but we will never know
who would have thought that the descendants of people making or supporting the genocide would be the people that is hosting the conmemoration…
