A Polish court has ordered two historians to apologize for identifying a town mayor as an accused collaborator who gave up Jews to occupying Nazi forces during World War II, potentially chilling discussion of the role some Poles played during the Holocaust

Close to 3.2 million Polish Jews are estimated to have died during five years of Nazi rule. Decades of research have found that while many Poles risked their own lives to help Jews, others participated in or assisted the slaughter.

The ruling Law and Justice party has tried to limit discussion of the actions of Polish nationals in the genocide, warning that it considers any investigation into alleged complicity of Poles in the Holocaust as dishonoring Poland. It prefers to portray the country as a blameless victim of larger regional powers.to punish anyone falsely accusing Poles of collaborating with the Nazis, despite objections from the U.S., Israel and some survivors from the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Tuesday’s verdict, delivered by Warsaw district court, now threatens to widen the schism between the European Union’s executive in Brussels and more nationalistic-minded countries in the bloc’s east. The court found that a 1,600-page academic study, “Night Without End: Fate of Jews in Selected Counties of Occupied Poland,” had violated the libel law by documenting cases of Catholic Poles collaborating with the Nazi regime.

Those two “historians” caught in the lie.

A failure to acknowledge history permits it to be repeated... Poland Nazi occupation, collaboration, illegal to provide history, including allegations of collaboration, re ghetto's, holocaust, death of Jews. Historians ordered to apologise Europe Polish won't face truth.

The truth hurts?

I bless the day I found you Miss markdonald Amelia you’ve become a blessing to me and family markdonaldAmeli

making things ryte. Kudos

Poles were victims of the Nazis but they also collaborated with the occupiers. That's just historical fact.

The line would be very long in the US if we had courts force historians to apologize for manifest errors ...

“Chilling discussion or just flat out wrong?” Can we call a knife a knife?

Top court orders German govt to set post-2030 climate goalsBERLIN (AP) — Germany's top court ruled Thursday that the country's government has to set clear goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions after 2030, arguing that current legislation doesn't go far enough in ensuring that climate change is limited to acceptable levels. Several individuals from Germany and elsewhere, backed by environmental groups, had filed four complaints to the Constitutional Court arguing that their rights were impinged by the lack of sufficient targets beyond the next decade. Germany, like other European Union countries, aims to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Legislation passed in 2019 set specific targets for sectors such as housing and transport for that period, but not for the long-term goal of cutting emissions to ‘net zero’ by 2050. No strong negotiator exist for Joe B., Putin & Xi Jinping with the exception of God!! So, please please our Geat God negociate them to lead the World which is now Globalized!! Let our God bless the entire World!! Please help me I'm being stalked. if METoo is not dead help me get thru to ACLU SafeHorizon RonanFarrow andersoncooper Lavernecox bershanshaw it's urgent before someone offs me In their ruling Thursday, judges said the current legislation “irreversibly pushes a very high burden of emissions reduction into the period after 2030.” (as it should, the solution to climate change has yet to be invented, it undoubtedly will in the future)
