"The 1941 Jedwabne Pogrom celebrations were disgracefully disrupted by bandit extremists who taunted the dead and dishonored the living. Their goal was to embarrass the Jews, but alternatively they only embarrassed themselves – and worse, they dishonored Poland's good name" – Thomas Rose wrote on page X of the fresh US Ambassador to Poland.
US Ambassador to Poland responds to Braun events
"As all year, yesterday Poles and the Polish state celebrated the memory of the victims, bearing witness to their commitment to Polish-Jewish reconciliation. While all good people condemn what happened in Jedwabne, we Americans are facing an unprecedented detonation of anti-Semitism, much more dangerous than anything that happened in Poland," the diplomat pointed out in his entry.
"Our most elite institutions kick from the outspoken eruption of anti-Semitic hatred that has never been seen in America's 250-year past – in our classes, press releases and municipal offices," he added, referring, among others, to pro-Palestinian protests, which frequently have anti-Semitic accents.
"But thanks to president Trump's unprecedented actions, who has done more to defend the judaic state and defend the judaic people than any non-Jewish people we have been fighting and defeating this plague for 2000 years," Rose stressed.
On his profile he besides gave further entries, among others, the head of the MFA Radosław Sikorski and president Andrzej Duda, who condemned anti-Semitic feats by Grzegorz Braun.
Let us remind that the Jedwabne execution is simply a tragic event of July 10, 1941, erstwhile the pogrom of about 300–400 judaic inhabitants by local Poles occurred in the town of Jedwabne in Podlasie. These events stay 1 of the most painful chapters of Polish past during planet War II.
Grzegorz Braun and the scandalous speech on the radio
In any case, Grzegorz Braun besides provoked outrage with his speech on Radio Wnet. A politician has denied the Holocaust respective times, calling it "feel" and "a pseudohistorical transmission".
– They all together, jointly and severally, B’nai B’rith, Polin and another organizations who present themselves as Jewish, condemn those who talk the truth. That ritual execution is simply a fact, and let's give Auschwitz with gas chambers a fake. And whoever speaks of it is accused of terrible things, condemned from reverence and faith," he said.
The broadcaster Łukasz Jankowski decided to end the conversation after Braun's words. The territory Prosecutor's Office of Warsaw-Śródmieście announced on Thursday afternoon that it would deal with the case.
