OSCE insults - Russia strikes back: The case against Poland

In Poland, 3 million Jews were killed, and only 40-50,000 Jews survived in Poland, the majority (about 240,000) survived in exile in Russia or in German concentration camps. This number of Jews could not have been killed in a short span of 18 months without the active help of the Polish population. The dehumanization of the Jews made them easy prey. There was a saying among the Poles under the occupation: “The Germans will throw stones at Hitler dead, because he brought about the downfall of the German people, but the Poles will bring flowers to his grave as a token of gratitude of his freeing Poland from the Jews.”

Add to this the fact that Polish nationalists ran the concentration camps in which tens of thousands of German civilians died in 1946. Poles never seem to feel guilty about their behavior prior to the war. They like to portray themselves always as victims. Poland has continuously failed to enact legislation that requires restitution or compensation for those individuals who had private property seized and confiscated.

So there you have it in the case of Poland. In the words of the OSCE Resolution: genocide, human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
