The legacy of Polish Holocaust denial
The legacy of Polish Holocaust denial
The controversy over Poland’s role during the Holocaust has exploded yet again. Remarkably, a joint statement issued by the Polish and Israeli governments intended to draw a line under the row has been denounced by Yad Vashem. Embarrassingly for Israel, it claims that the statement hailed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as “safeguarding the historic truth about the Holocaust” includes “grave errors and deceptions” and contains “highly problematic wording that contradicts existing and accepted historical knowledge in this field”.
By coincidence my novel, The Legacy, deals directly with this very issue. You can read about the novel here and order a copy here and here.
