Dear Sir,
We are writing in order to draw your attention to the fact that unclear and highly confusing statements, which bear a sign of defamation appear in numerous articles published by the Times of Israel.

“Auschwitz” is also the name of a book that Rees published over a decade ago.In it, Rees argues that until the Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz in the summer of 1944, the death camp in Poland was still only playing a relatively minor role, overall, in the murder of Europe’s Jews.
(mythical Nazis)
An intriguing part of Rees’s book is his determination to figure out when the collective set of initiatives we now call the Final Solution became official Nazi policy.

Auschwitz, c’est aussi le nom d’un livre que Rees a publié il y a une dizaine d’années. Rees y raconte l’histoire des juifs hongrois déportés à Auschwitz durant l’été 1944. Il y explique que jusqu’à cette vague de déportation, le camp de la mort ne jouait qu’un rôle mineur dans le meurtre des juifs d’Europe.

Le livre de Rees est intriguant, notamment quant à sa détermination à comprendre à quel moment les initiatives collectives que nous appelons aujourd’hui la Solution finale est devenue la politique officielle des nazis.

IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, along with hundreds of representatives from the Israeli army, visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland on Sunday, ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, which began this evening
After the visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, which included a march down the train tracks leading into the death camp, Eisenkot wrote in the site’s guestbook: “My first visit to Poland as IDF chief of staff, seeing the evil up close and the great difficulty in understanding it, the death machine and the serial murder of our nation.
Micky Goldman, who was an inmate in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943, traveled with Eisenkot’s group.
One survivor who gave testimony mentioned seeing a youth receiving 80 lashes by an SS officer in the Przemyśl ghetto in Poland.
The incident inspired a documentary by Israeli poet Haim Gouri, called “The 81st Blow.” Goldman received 80 blows from the Nazi officer, the metaphorical 81st blow came from his own people, who until the trial refused to listen to the testimonies of Holocaust survivors.

„When we Jews blamed the French government for the arrest and deportation to Polish death camps of thousands of French Jews, her reply was the same as the reply of the German couple.”
It was the French police who knocked on doors, arrested Jewish inhabitants, assembled them in the Val d’Hiv, sent some to the concentration camp in Nancy and escorted thousands of others to sealed trains destined for Poland.
At least, anti-Jewish Poland produced more Righteous Gentiles, honored by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, who hid, sheltered and protected more Jews than any other occupied country.

However, a mellah wasn’t exactly like a Polish ghetto because the gates were not locked, people were not prevented from going in and out, and because most Moroccan Jews lived in mellahs even before the war. In addition, Jews weren’t forced into the mellahs in all Moroccan cities.

The P-51 Mustang, a joint US-UK product, did have enough range to accompany bombers to Western Poland. But the first Mustangs were only operational in November 1943, and there were only enough of them for such an operation starting February 1944, said Bauer, who serves as academic adviser to Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and museum.
The Nazis were determined to exterminate the Jews, and would have continued to pursue that goal even if the gas chambers had been destroyed, Bauer also argued. By the end of 1943, all Nazi death camps but one — Auschwitz-Birkenau — had been closed for one reason or another. Half of the nearly six million Jews killed during the Holocaust were not gassed in concentration camps but rather killed on ditches or shot in raids on villages, Bauer pointed out.
Toward the end of October 1944, the Nazis stopped gassing people in Auschwitz because of the advancing Red Army. “And yet,” Bauer said, “until the end of the war hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed by the Germans with no gas. They didn’t need gas. It was more convenient for them, but they would have continued killing even had the concentration camps been destroyed,” he said.
The Allies only truly grasped the scope of the horrors of Auschwitz in June 1944, when a report of two escapees reached Washington. The failure to plan a bombing campaign at that point, while most likely futile, is a moral stain on the allied powers, Bauer said. “They might not have saved a single human live, but they would have made a statement that they care.”
It is often argued that bombing Auschwitz might have been a more successful way of slowing the pace of the systematic annihilation of Jews and Roma, but military historians have long asserted that airstrikes were impossible before the summer of 1943 — as Bauer explained — and that the bombed railways would in any case have been repaired quickly.

Concomitantly, there is a trend to present Poles as a nation of victims and rescuers. Of course Poland suffered greatly under the yoke of the Nazis, but Polish suffering did not translate into solidarity with Jews. The arithmetic gymnastics that are employed to extrapolate from the 6,706 Polish Righteous among the Nations and conclude that at least a million Poles were involved in rescue, are just that, gymnastics. It is true that more Righteous among the Nations have been recognized in Poland than any other country, but that is because Poland had by far the largest Jewish community under Nazi domination, and it is not because Poland was a nation of rescuers.

Although my Zionistic feelings have always been strong going to Poland multiplied my Zionistic fervor by about a million. It changed my feelings about who I am , where I came from and where we are going. It was a life changing, priceless trip.
The other day when we went to the shiva house for little Hallel Yaffa H”YD her mother told us in a relatively detailed way how she was murdered. Specifics about the stabbing. And at first I wanted to cover my ears and not listen to the horrific details bc I didn’t want to have the image in my head, I did not want to know the horror. But then I thought that if Hallel’s mother has to know the details then I too have to know the details. We all have to know the details bc she must not suffer alone. We all have to share in her suffering. By sharing in her suffering maybe somewhere, somehow we can change something, or learn something. Even if it is just to be a more compassionate person. Well this is how I feel about Poland. Some people actually think we should not go to Poland. We should not bring tourism and economy there. But I think that the benefits of witnessing our history far outweigh the negatives of bringing money into Poland. If every survivor has to live every moment of his life with the images of the atrocities he experienced and witnessed burned into his brain then we too MUST try to feel at least a small part of what happened to our people.
Then I wrote my letter to Saba and Savta thanking them for sending me to spend a year here learning and then to Poland-where I saw the deep, deep hole that the Jewish people almost got completely lost in. Where we saw the worst of humanity, the most cruel and vicious things that one group of people could do to another-and simply bc we are Jews. The dirt I brought back from Auschwitz was holy dirt-dirt from the place were so many precious souls were brutally murdered. A little tangible piece of the horrors we suffered in the holocaust.
Entire letter clearly suggests that Poland is responsible for the Holocaust and suffering of Jewish nation. Germany is whitewashed completely, but Polish state from the victim has been trasfered into murderer. We do not accept such actions.
A few facts:
- Nazism means National Socialism, and it does refer to a certain nation, in this case it is German National Socialism policy.
- Auschwitz concentration camp – definition
“Konzentrationslager Auschwitz” (KL Auschwitz, German for "Auschwitz Concentration Camp") was the name of a state run German concentration camp established by the German Nazis in 1940 during the Second World War on the outskirts of the town of Oświęcim. The town was incorporated into the Third Reich along with this part of the German-occupied Poland.
- There were only Jewish ghettos set up by Germans in German-occupied Poland.
- “Anti-Jewish Poland” - The newly independent Second Polish Republic had a large and vibrant Jewish minority. By the time World War II began, Poland had the largest concentration of Jews in Europe although many Polish Jews had a separate culture and ethnic identity from Catholic Poles. Some authors have stated that only about 10% of Polish Jews during the interwar period could be considered "assimilated" while more than 80% could be readily recognized as Jews
- About 85% of Jews in Poland did not speak Polish.
- In Western Europe the automatic death sentence for help rendered to Jews did not exist and applying it to a whole family or neighbors was unthinkable. The reign of terror that organized in Poland was completely isolated, and unimaginable in the West. Those who were executed are not usually recognized as “Righteous.” They were generally murdered with the Jews they harbored, so there were no Jewish witnesses, while the Polish witnesses were not taken into consideration. Only in very rare cases (25 that were known in 1999), when a Jew managed to escape death and lived long enough to make the proper deposition in an Israeli consulate or at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, (the State Tribunal of Israel) could the rescuers be recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations.”
- Complete exclusion of Polish suffering.
From among 1.3 million Auschwitz deportees, at least 1.1 million were murdered:
900 thousand Jews murdered in the gas chambers immediately on arrival at the camp; Of the 400 thousand prisoners registered in the camp, 200 thousand people died there. They included almost 100 thousand Jews, 70 thousand Poles, 21 thousand Roma, 14 thousand Soviet prisoners of war and more than 10 thousand prisoners of other nationalities.
- During the Second World War as a result of the German aggression and its consequences approximately six million Polish citizens died:
- approximately 3 million Polish Jews; - approximately 2 million Poles: 1.3 million in the General Government, 0.2 million in the territories incorporated into the Reich and 0.5 million in the territories east of the Bug River (this number also includes the victims of Soviet crimes committed on POWs and civilians as well as the victims of Ukrainian, Belarussian and Lithuanian nationalists); - approximately 1 million Polish citizens of other nationalities: Ukrainians, Belarusians, Roma, and Lithuanians amongst others.
Avoiding description including the name of a designer and executor of German National Socialism genocidal ideology and suggesting that Poland is responsible for Jewish suffering is unaccaptable confusion and bears a sign of hate speech towards Polish nation, historical revisionism and Holocaust denial.
I therefore wish to endorse the request by the Polish League Against Defamation and urge you to remove defamatory and unclear expressions from the Website under your administration within 3 days.
Sincerely,
