Inscriptions on the boards talking about crimes of "Nazi" or "Nazi" should be accompanied by the adjective "German" - believes the Institute of National Remembrance. Asking for these changes applied to all municipalities in Poland, the president of IPN, prof. Janusz Kurtyka.
In his letter, Professor. Kurtyka recalled the decision of UNESCO, which was entered by the adjective "German" from the official name of Auschwitz-Birkenau. And identifying the nationality of criminals is now of particular importance, because in different countries is conducted "consistent policy of concealing the nationality of the perpetrators in order to transfer ownership for genocide in other nations. "
- The term "Nazis" in the Polish language are clearly associated with the Germans. However, multilingual tables is usually translated as "Nazis", which means the supporters or members of the National Socialist party, without specifying their nationalities. Foreign tourists may suggest that it is a Polish Nazis, what it reinforces is still repeated in the West about a "Polish concentration camps" - said Dr. Matthew Korkuć from the Krakow branch of the IPN. However
IPN spokesman, Andrew Arseniuk adds - After creating the GDR in 1949 the communist authorities, speaking about German crimes, we consciously began to call them "Nazi" or "Nazi." It was a decision dictated by political considerations
Korkuć tion, gives an example of an array with an incorrect translation, commemorating the deaths of Jews, which is located on Szeroka Street in Kazimierz.
- The average American reads an array of Jews murdered "by the Nazis." How to know that this state officials German, and not the Poles organized a real massacre here? - asks.
In the former death camp at Sobibor, the scoreboard in the Polish language speaks of "hitlerowcach" signs in foreign languages \u200b\u200b- the "Nazis". Polish-language signs that indicate a "hitlerowcach" but without specifying their nationalities, are also included in the former concentration camp in Dzialdowo. O "hitlerowcach" is also mentioned in the Cemetery, located next to the Warsaw Uprising Wolski cemetery.
- Lawn Cemetery Warsaw Uprising will soon be listed - provides Andrew Carrier, Secretary General of Council for the Protection of Memory of Struggle and Martyrdom. - Besides sharing tables across the country going on for many years. This tedious process, because of defective boards are a lot, and sometimes there are also copyright - adds.
How points IPN spokesman Andrzej Arseniuk, request for replacement boards are not the only suggestion that President Kurtyka turned to self-government. Also asked them to bear the efforts to commemorate the German and Soviet crimes, which have not yet been adequately documented.
