AUSCHWITZ IN POLAND
Part of not forgetting the past is to remember the sins of forefathers/mothers. It is not meant to bring guilt to a new generation but to understand how even “good people” can do awful things if they allow themselves to be manipulated or even turn a blind eye. With that in mine I understand that the German’s instituted the death camps during World War II but most of these hideous camps were located in Poland and run by Polish people. The truth is many Polish people either turned a blind eye or actually turned in their fellow citizens during this period of time. We can neither neglect that Poland was occupied by the German’s during the war and that there were many righteous gentiles who risked limb and life to protect those, who were facing death but this was far to rare. So the remarks by the FBI Director (see link below) should not be controversial. We the next generation have pledged to Never Forget and not allow others to try to sweep the past under the rug.
