Sławek Szefs reports that the reservations concern a note describing a photograph taken in the wartime Jewish Ghetto created by the Nazi Germans in the city of Łódź. The description speaks of “Polish police” watching the gate to the sealed-off Jewish quarter.
"To people who do not pursue 20th century history to an in-depth degree as Poles do, this may create the impression that Poles were co-responsible for the Holocaust and for crimes committed by the Nazi Germans on Polish territories occupied by them. We have to oppose such thinking,” Deputy Foreign Minister Jan Dziedziczak told Polish Radio.
