IPN will send a memo on Nazi crimes to German ministries

President of the Institute of National Memory Karol Nawrocki sent a letter to the German Minister of External Affairs Nancy Faeser and Minister of Education and investigation of Bettina Stark-Watzinger, offering the IPN to conduct educational activities in Germany about national socialism. The president of IPN besides pointed out the unlawful usage of the word "Polish concentration camps".

Karol Nawrocki in his letter expressed his concern about the revival of sentiments to national socialism and the increasingly emerging symbols of the 3rd Reich in the public space in Germany

Conscious omissions of subsequent German authorities in the prosecution of criminals liable for the deaths of millions of victims of the crime manufacture launched on a mass scale after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933; relativizing work for the spark of planet War II; the deficiency of indication of nationality of perpetrators of war atrocities; the usage of the word "Polish concentration camps", allegedly in purely geographical terms; and finally, the public depreciation of claims for reparations for wrongs, has specified effects. any citizens of modern Germany see the 3rd Reich as the embodiment of a arrogant and strong state aspiring to the function of planet leader. At the same time, they do not care about the magnitude of the crimes and genocidal ideology committed by NSDAP members.

Further, the president of the IPN noted:

Building historical sensitivity based on fact is simply a hard and long-term process. However, it brings tangible results in the long term. I firmly believe that joint effort will lead to the knowing by the Germans, especially those young people, of the large evil of the Nazi totalitarian strategy built on hatred and contempt for another man. He led to the death of millions of victims, especially painfully experiencing Jews, as well as my fellow Poles.

Karol Nawrocki stressed that:

The experience of my colleagues in conducting historical education based on reliable investigation so far guarantees effective access to the hearts and awareness of German citizens. No more German citizen would rise his hand in a shameful Nazi greeting; no more would anyone always incinerate the songs of criminals in Wehrmacht uniforms or another armed formations; no 1 would make neo-Nazi organizations.

Rehabilitation of national socialism?

W Germany is increasingly whitewashing the crimes of the 3rd Reich and is attributed to neighbouring countries or widely defined Nazis. It is, for example, a story of a good vermacht that never defiled the uniform and shed work on the ideologicalized SS, or the silent denial of work for camps conducted in occupied areas by replacing the word “German” with “Nazi” or “Polish” concentration camps.

According to the study of the Polish Ministry of abroad Affairs, 103 times in abroad media only utilized the terms "Polish concentration camps". The most common word appeared in Germany – 20 times, 16 times in American and Spanish media, 8 times in Austria, 6 times in Canada, 6 times in Italy, 5 times in France.

The loudest specified case in Germany was a publication published in 2010 for German schools entitled “Jewish Life in Germany” by the national Centre for Political Education, which utilized the word “polnische Konzentrationslager”, or Polish concentration camps.

Most Germans are unaware of the crimes A Reich or does not want to take moral work for it. According to the "Die Zeit" poll, more than half of the respondents (58%) believe that "Germany is not more liable for national socialism, for dictatorship, for wars and crimes than another countries". Only 3% admits that their own household belonged to supporters of national socialism; it should be recalled that in the 1933 Reichstag election, the NSDAP won over 17 million votes (44 percent of support).

The German government is straight liable for this state of affairs, which does not want to educate people with a hard past and deliberately omits hard subjects, especially if they are related to Poland; Poland, as 1 of the fewer countries, has inactive not received war reparations, despite the top percent of losses; according to estimates, Germans killed up to 1.9 million Poles during planet War II, not counting 3 million Jews of Polish citizenship.

The data is so overwhelming that German officials deliberately do not mention Polish victims. During the 70th anniversary of the liberation of KL Dachau in 2015, representatives of the German state at the beginning ceremony and speech did not mention that Poles were prisoners there. In Dachau until 1970, there was no information that all 3rd of the murdered there was a Pole.
