Poland: Government rebukes historian for saying Poles killed more Jews than Germans

Via The News:

The Polish Foreign Ministry has expressed concern over an article by Polish-born American sociologist and historian Jan Tomasz Gross, published in the German Die Welt.

In the article, Gross wrote that during World War Two "Poles killed more Jews than Germans." Referring to the current migrant crisis, he wrote that "the hideous face of Poles is rooted in Nazi times."

Ministry spokesman Marcin Wojciechowski described it as "historically untrue, harmful and insulting to Poland."

The spokesman said that the Polish Ambassador in Germany will address a letter of protest to the editors of Die Welt.  more
