Maciej Świrski of Redoubt Good Name (RDI), who is the author of the letter, at the same time promotes the fast spreading network #ComeyApologize hashtag. It has to be an element of pressure to the head of the FBI apologized for suspicion Poles of responsibility for the Holocaust – being “accomplices of murderers.”
speech at issue with the indicated thesis Comey gave the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC – April 15. Then I found it on the internet the FBI. They are also reprinted in the widely read “Washington Post”.
Comey expressed the opinion that the most frightening lesson of the Holocaust is the fact that it showed that people are able to opt out of individual morality and see almost everything, by submitting to the authority of the group. – In their opinion, the murderers and their partners from Germany, Polish, Hungarian, and many other places have not done anything wrong. Convinced themselves to the fact that they did what was right, what they had to do – add Comey. And that this statement was met with widespread outrage in Poland and the Polish community.
“Comey blurs the real perpetrators of responsibility “
And what is in the list of the RDI for US Ambassador to Poland Stephen Mulla? Świrski expressed its hope that the culprits of the Poles is “not a deliberate action arising from any political question.” Regardless of the intentions Comey’a in the list, you can read his statement that “defames Polish nation and storm existing excellent relations between the Polish and American.”
According to the author of the letter and approx. 5 thousand. people who supported him, James Comey, in his speech, “blurs the true perpetrators responsible extermination of the Jews.” And also because RDI demands – through the ambassador – from the US administration a public apology. But not only. Because RDI also calls to the US authorities clearly define who they believed was the real perpetrator of the Holocaust. – Such a declaration will cross the possibility of further slander – emphasized in a letter to Stephen Mulla.
In addition, RDI asks a series of questions Ambassador. In this and the fact that the US government has evidence of a “system of Polish Holocaust accomplices guilty of the murder of 3 million Jews” and that they were tried in Nuremberg?
So far, the strongest response to the demands of the US authorities are the words of apology US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf. – Director Comey intention was certainly not to suggest that Poland was somehow responsible for the Holocaust. We want to make it clear – said at the daily brifingu. It has added that “The US has always recognized and admired the enormous efforts of countless Poles, Hungarians and other inhabitants of occupied Europe to protect its Jews from Nazi genocide (…). And of course Poles fell a large part of Nazi barbarism.”
Ambassador Stephen Mull in connection with the FBI director’s statement was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Sunday. And he said – words that Poland or any other country outside of Nazi Germany, were responsible for the Holocaust, they are wrong, it is harmful and offensive.
In his first public comments on the controversy that resulted in his speech about the Holocaust, FBI Director James Comey said he regrets that listed the names of countries, but did not apologize Polish and reiterated its opinion on collaboration with the Nazis – PAP reported the case.
– I did not say that Poland was responsible for the Holocaust. In a way, I regret that I changed in any country at all, because it distracted the attention of some of my main thoughts – Comey said Tuesday in Knoxville, asked by Wate-channel TV, a local television network associated with ABC. As pointed out by the agency – in accordance with the report placed on the website of the television, Comey, asked whether Poland apologizes for his words, he said “no.”
