“To be honest, I am surprised by this blunder, because although the broad mass of German society has average knowledge about the German crimes in Poland, it seemed to me that these elites had some knowledge and such a blunder should not have happened” , he said. on television, in Poland Prof. Andrzej Przyłębski, former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Berlin.
In a video spot commemorating the victims of the Holocaust, the European Commission suggested that one of them was murdered in a “Polish camp” – “Camp Auschwitz, Poland”. After numerous protests, the EU body corrected the material and wrote about the German Nazi death camp. However, the outrage persisted.

It would be sufficient if instead of Auschwitz – the name itself indicates that it is not in Poland and has already been accepted – one does not say Oświęcim, but rather Auschwitz, if one means a concentration camp – write “in occupied Poland”. and this would not be a disaster
– noted Jacek Karnowski’s interlocutor on Telewizja wPolsce.
This is a sad mistake. Of course, a historic policy is being pursued in Germany aimed at reducing and relativizing the guilt of the German nation for the Second World War and shifting it to a handful of National Socialists, but I find it difficult to believe that Mrs von der Leyen would continue [ją – red.]. However, this can never be ruled out
– added Prof. Przyłębski.
The Germans want to shift responsibility for the Second World War, put it into perspective, say that Germany was denazified after the war, that order and democracy reigned there, which is of course not true. In fact, there was no model state in Germany, if we look at the way the German judiciary was reformed, which meant that many judges in the Third Reich were also judges or lawyers. The same goes for diplomacy. The German ambassador who recently left us, von Loringhoven, came from such an aristocratic family; the aristocracy, who sympathized with the National Socialists, largely staffed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the war
– he said.
““What Bachmann is doing is a huge shame for Germany.”
A scandalous text by Klaus Bachmann was published on the website of “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The German-born publicist is encouraging the new authorities in Poland to increase the scale of their illegal activities.
What Bachmann is doing is a great shame for Germany and also a shame for the Polish university where he works
– comments Prof. Przyłębski.
I had the dubious pleasure of meeting Mr Bachmann in the 1990s, when he was still a modest journalist sympathetic to Poland.
– added the former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland.
I am surprised that no one from Germany has spoken about this subject (…). This is a scandal, just like the fact that the German embassy is interfering in politics, and that also applies, let’s be honest, to the American embassy. As ambassador, I would never give myself the right to become involved in the development of German policy. This goes beyond the norms of diplomacy. This also shows what role Germans ascribe to themselves in Europe: instructing themselves, setting themselves as role models
– said Prof. Andrzej Przyłębski on television in Poland.
