We are observing with growing concern the current geopolitical situation in Europe, which poses serious challenges to the Republic of Poland in terms of maintaining its independence.<br \/><br \/>\n    The presidential elections in 2025 will be a key moment for the future of Poland. The process of deepening the federalization of the European Union, supported by some political circles in the country, including in particular those associated with Donald Tusk and Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski, raises our justified concerns. Further transfer of key competences to EU institutions, dominated by the largest member states, and especially Germany, may result in a weakening of Poland&#8217;s position, the progressive de-industrialization of the country and a limitation, or even the loss of our sovereignty.<br \/><br \/>\n    In light of these challenges, we support Karol Nawrocki&#8217;s candidacy for the office of the President of the Republic of Poland. His previous activities, especially in the area of \u200b\u200bcultivating Polish national identity, allow us to believe that he will be able to defend Poland&#8217;s interests more effectively than his opponent, both domestically and internationally.<br \/><br \/>\n    We call on Poles at home and abroad to consciously participate in the presidential elections in 2025 and support Karol Nawrocki in the upcoming round of elections.

We hope that this critical visit will advance Poland&#8217;s image as a key advocate of normalizing European relations and steadfast proponent of a new security architecture through peace and cooperation in Europe.<br \/><br \/>\n    As we approach the 10th anniversary of the military conflict in Ukraine, we hope Poland will lead the world on the path to de-escalation of the conflict and a negotiated settlement. We strongly believe that Europe needs not war but peace. All the differences of interests must be negotiated and resolved peacefully.<br \/><br \/>\n    Many within the Polish American community strongly believe that NATO should remain a defense alliance and not an instrument of unrestrained geopolitical ambitions of its most dominant members. Poland must not allow itself to be drawn or forced into military engagement(s) outside of Polish borders unless attacked.<br \/><br \/>\n    The trajectory of future developments is not easy to predict nor is it predetermined. However, it is a given that the future political and military decisions of the Russian Federation will depend on the actions of its adversaries. Escalatory behaviors will be predictably met with escalatory reactions. Russia&#8217;s conviction of facing an existential threat and its clearly signaled determination to use all its capabilities in the conflict need to be seriously considered before any escalatory steps are taken.<br \/><br \/>\n    The consequences of conflict escalation advocated by some European leaders might lead to highly tragic outcomes in Poland and globally. We urge Polish politicians to refrain from offensive rhetorical excesses and empty threats, which regrettably indicate an inability to realistically assess Poland&#8217;s capabilities in a situation of actual military confrontation.<br \/><br \/>\n    Polish Americans stand ready to support and assist President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk as they work together to strengthen and maintain Poland&#8217;s deterrence capabilities but remain adamantly opposed to engaging Poland deeper in a war that cannot be won, and which would ultimately lead to the destruction of Poland. We appeal to Poland&#8217;s leaders to align with those European leaders who call for a peaceful resolution of the war.<br \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">\n    Ameryka\u0144ska Polonia oczekuje przyjazdu Prezydenta Polski Dudy i Premiera Tuska kt\u00f3rzy 12 marca przyb\u0119d\u0105 do Waszyngtonu na spotkanie z Prezydentem Bidenem.

The dramatic arrest of two opposition lawmakers under controversial circumstances and the questionable dismissal of the head of the National Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office raise doubts about the Government&#8217;s adherence to the law&#8217;s letter and the pledge to restore its rule. The revised process by which members of the National Council of the Judiciary are appointed also causes concern.<br \/><br \/>\n    These and other reportedly corrective actions that the new Administration has taken, whether right or wrong, have regrettably caused widespread political and social turmoil, mainly because of the Prime Minister&#8217;s &#8220;iron broom&#8221; approach.<br \/><br \/>\n    Equally concerning are signals that suggest significant slowing or abandonment of strategically essential investments such as the \u015awinouj\u015bcie Port, the construction of a nuclear power plant, and the building of the Central Communication Port.<br \/><br \/>\n    We, therefore, call on the new Polish Government to work in unison with the President and opposition party members to heal the current political divide and mitigate the consequent chaos by achieving common solutions to the issues that affect the Polish people. We further implore the Administration to continue implementing the planned infrastructure projects that will carry Poland into the next critically needed stage of national development.<br \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">\n    Z wielkim zaniepokojeniem przygl\u0105damy si\u0119 kontrowersyjnym dzia\u0142aniom podj\u0119tym ostatnio przez nowy  rz\u0105d polski, rzekomo w celu przywr\u00f3cenia liberalnej demokracji w Polsce.<br \/><br \/>\n    Zwolnienia dyrektor\u00f3w generalnych i zarz\u0105d\u00f3w TVP, Polskiego Radia i Polskiej Agencji Prasowej rodz\u0105 powa\u017cne pytania co do tego jak nowa Aadministracja rozumie wolno\u015bc medi\u00f3w.

The WEP\u2019s harmful twin is the GPO, which unfairly penalizes the Spousal and Survivor benefits of these same public sector workers. In some cases, the Survivor benefit of a widow\/widower is eliminated entirely when their spouse dies even though their spouse had paid for that benefit. It should be noted that, because the Social Security Administration does not have access to the foreign earnings of Foreign Pension Recipients, they are not affected by the GPO.<br \/><br \/>\n    Gene pointed out that, in 2023, the WEP withholds up to $557.50 from each monthly Social Security pension check of Foreign Pension Recipients and public sector workers because they earned a second, non-Social Security pension. Withholding this monthly sum hits low-wage earners the hardest because they can least afford it and causes many to fall into low-income and even poverty status. He also noted that, in 2023, the Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration estimates that $14 Billion dollars will be withheld from retirees\u2019 checks because of the WEP and GPO. Because this has been going on for the past 40 years and many hundreds of billions of dollars have been unfairly withheld, he stressed the fact that it is time to end this longstanding injustice.<br \/><br \/>\n    Gene further pointed out that ending this longstanding injustice is exactly what Representative Graves and Representative Spanberger are doing with their bill, H.R. 82, called the \u201cSocial Security Fairness Act of 2023\u201d. H.R. 82 is a strongly bipartisan bill and currently has 294 cosponsors. The Senate companion bill is S. 597, which is called the \u201cSocial Security Fairness Act\u201d, and is sponsored by Democratic Senator Sharrod Brown of Ohio and Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.

The foreign influences in Polish politics are diverse and many, but very few amount to the level of open and direct interference presented by the U.S. State Department statements. Also, considering our recent history of election interference, the State Department is in no position to instruct Poland on the subject.<br \/><br \/>\n    As there are many recent noteworthy examples of U.S. interference in Poland&#8217;s internal affairs, we respectfully request the opportunity to provide our perspective on matters of concern to prevent their recurrence in the future.

However, the change would also create a dangerous legal precedent with serious international ramifications that would, in turn, have an impact, based on principles of legal symmetry and reciprocity, on lawsuits against the Republic of Poland in foreign jurisdictions, especially in the United States.<br \/><br \/>\n    Taking into consideration these ramifications is essential and the decision to introduce change should not be treated lightly. Throughout the years, United States courts have routinely dismissed civil lawsuits against the Republic of Poland and held that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act shields Poland from such actions.<br \/><br \/>\n    The ruling in favor of change might inadvertently end Poland&#8217;s ability to assert a sovereign immunity defense and open a virtual floodgate of lawsuits against the Republic of Poland from individuals or legal entities seeking restitution or compensation for the losses, real or fictitious, suffered during World War II and as an effect of postwar Communist-era nationalizations.

Regretfully, the Memorial is subjected to an unending barrage of assaults by the Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation, a public\/private entity led by luxury developers with holdings on or near Exchange Place Plaza. In 2018, Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop and the Exchange Place Alliance president Michael DeMarco colluded trying to evict the Katyn Memorial from where it had stood for 22 years. Receiving international condemnation, the mayor and Mr. DeMarco then attempted to move the Memorial one block south to York Street, a narrow, dark street sitting on top of a toxic, rancid, combined sewer\/outflow exchange. With the financial support of Polish Americans throughout the United States, the pro-Monument groups collected over 6,000 signatures from Jersey City residents and forced a city-wide referendum on the matter. The Katyn Memorial stands in Exchange Place to this date because of the referendum and the combined efforts of many.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Today, the same forces that failed in 2018 to remove\/relocate the Monument are engaged in a new assault on the Katyn Memorial. Under the guise of a plaza \u201crenovation,\u201d the Exchange Place Alliance will heedlessly attempt to convert forty percent of the Plaza\u2019s public space into a private roadway servicing buildings owned by corporations of the board members of the Alliance itself. Further, the new Plaza designs reveal an aggressive attack on the Katyn Memorial yet again. Because Jersey City\u2019s 2018 referendum brought about an ordinance guaranteeing that the Katyn Memorial will remain in Exchange Place Plaza in perpetuity, a new tactic is employed: it aims to obscure, scar, confine, deny access, degrade, and conceal the Memorial from view.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The Exchange Place Alliance has led this &#8220;Monument wrecking crew&#8221; since its president, Michael DeMarco, the arch-foe of the Katyn Memorial and a Polonophobe, publicly declared the Monument to be &#8220;gruesome&#8221; and demanded its removal from Exchange Place Plaza. His collaborator Mayor Steven Fulop \u2013 another Polonophobe &#8211; added insult to injury, causing international scandal and outrage in 2018 when he called Stanislaw Karczewski, Speaker of Poland&#8217;s Senate, who protested the scandalous plans to remove the Monument &#8220;a joke, anti-Semite, white nationalist, and Holocaust denier.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The Exchange Place Alliance&#8217;s actions and the unlawful process in which the approval of the Exchange Place Plaza renovation was obtained caused significant and understandable opposition within the community. Left with no options &#8211; due to the intransigence of the Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation and its unwillingness to open access to the Monument \u2013 the Polish American Strategic Initiative (PASI), Polish American Strategic Initiative Educational Organization (PASI EDU), and Jeanne Daly, a local Jersey City resident, filed in June 2022 a court action against the Jersey City Planning Board and Exchange Place Alliance. Simultaneously, fundraising was initiated &#8211; as was done in 2018 &#8211; to support the legal challenge.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The plaintiffs argue that the approval of the Plaza renovation issued by the Jersey City Planning Board was unlawful, and the case should be remanded back to the Planning Board for reconsideration to allow for previously banned public input. The plaintiffs want to keep the surroundings of the Monument open, access to the Monument unimpeded on all sides, and the iconic views of the Memorial with the panorama of Manhattan in the background preserved. The lawsuit rejects the Alliance&#8217;s attempts to hide the Monument, minimize its visual impact, and ultimately degrade its importance. As we remember, the Jersey City Planning Board initially rejected the Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation&#8217;s renovation plans; the decision was unlawfully reversed two weeks later when the Jersey City Planning Board succumbed to political pressures exerted &#8211; as it is alleged &#8211; by Steven Fulop, mayor of Jersey City and another Katyn Monument foe. Did Mr. DeMarco&#8217;s Mack-Cali past political donation of $250K to the mayor&#8217;s election fund have anything to do with the reversal? Any answers? We are curious.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Regrettably, the PASI litigation and fundraising have been attacked and criticized extensively in social media by Wojciech Mazur, vice president of a group known as the Committee for the Conservation of the Katyn Memorial and other Historic Objects, also known as CCKHMO. The group has aligned itself with the views of the Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation. The CCKHMO supports and defends the actions of the Exchange Place Alliance, even though they clash with, and are rejected by, the majority of the Polish American community. The Exchange Place Alliance has used and exploited the public support of CCKHMO to erroneously claim that the Polish American community supports the reconstruction of the Plaza in the form proposed by the Alliance.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Marek Bober&#8217;s interview with Wojciech Mazur, published in Gwiazda Polarna, and reprinted by Waldemar Biniecki in Kuryer Polski, sadly fails to provide truthful and factual information about the Katyn Monument developments and neglects to fact-check Mr. Mazur&#8217;s assertions. These include erroneous statements regarding PASI and Ms. Krystyna Pi\u00f3rkowska, one of the most active, engaged, and best-informed defenders of the Monument. Many statements made by Mr. Mazur do not align with reality and are utterly self-serving. They seriously misrepresent and exaggerate his role, attack and mischaracterize the roles played by others, especially by Ms. Pi\u00f3rkowska, to finally segue to an absurd claim that the PASI litigation somehow contributed to the disappointing outcomes of the U.S. elections. Furthermore, PASI is blamed for ruining the CCKHMO&#8217;s relationship with the Exchange Place Alliance. According to Mr. Mazur, the PASI litigation forced CCKHMO to sign an official statement confirming its loyalty to the Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation. A truly bizarre and revealing admission!<br \/><br \/>\n\n    THE FACTS: The Exchange Place renovation project removes approximately forty percent of the Plaza, a public property, from public use and converts it into a private roadway benefiting only private interests. The project unacceptably congests the space surrounding the Monument, restricts frontal and side access to it, and unreasonably constrains the area around it, drastically limiting the number of participants in future Katyn commemorations. The only access to the Monument left relatively unimpeded remains in the back of the Monument. The plans amount to a land grab and a calculated insult to the memory of the victims and the living.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    If allowed, the changes being implemented to Exchange Place by the Alliance will seriously impact the Katyn Monument. As a result, the Katyn Memorial will stand close to the newly established private roadway and be confined to a small oval area separated from the Plaza, making it barely visible. The approach to the Monument would be obstructed on two sides with long benches with absurd, almost six-foot-tall reclining backs and serving no purpose other than obstruction of access. A twenty-one-foot-long and over-five-foot-high masonry wall will be installed directly in front of the Monument. This wall and the high-backed benches are gratuitous and only serve to confine and separate the Monument from the Plaza, restrict access to it, obstruct the view of the Memorial, and arbitrarily limit the size of commemorations taking place at the Memorial. Fifteen trees planted around the Monument and growing bigger every year will ensure further restriction of its view. An approximately eleven-foot distance between the base of the Monument and the benches, created as an effect of the planned changes, will constraint access to, and movement around the Monument: it will result in a &#8220;suffocatingly&#8221; small, cordoned off, isolated area, which intentionally separates the Monument from the open space of the Plaza, of which it should continue to be an integral part, and enjoy an unimpeded access from all sides.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Furthermore, the redesign of the Plaza with its walls, bushes, and trees obstructs views not only of the Monument but also of Manhattan across the Hudson River, which violates the New Jersey Public Trust Doctrine, a state law enacted to guard and preserve the unspoiled views of New Jersey shorelines and waterfronts.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Considering all the above, one must sadly conclude that there is no other reasonable explanation for limiting access to and obstructing the view of the Katyn Memorial than the Polonophobic biases of the decision-makers. The CCKMHO&#8217;s and Mr. Mazur\u2019s willingness to betray the Memorial of the Polish WWII genocide for a few handshakes and a photo op with Jersey City Polonophobes intent on degrading the Memorial is undignified and truly regrettable.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The innocent victims of the Katyn genocide, who were shot with hands tied behind their backs, could not fight for their lives.

Pomnik Katy\u0144ski stoi na Exchange Place do dzi\u015b dzi\u0119ki wynikom referendum i wsp\u00f3lnemu wysi\u0142kowi wielu os\u00f3b.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dzi\u015b te same si\u0142y, kt\u00f3rym w 2018 roku nie uda\u0142o si\u0119 usun\u0105\u0107\/przenie\u015b\u0107 Pomnika, zaanga\u017cowane s\u0105 w nowy atak na Pomnik Katy\u0144ski. Pod pretekstem \u201erenowacji\u201d placu Exchange Place Alliance pr\u00f3buje przekszta\u0142ci\u0107 czterdzie\u015bci procent placu, b\u0119d\u0105cego w\u0142asno\u015bci\u0105 publiczn\u0105 w prywatn\u0105 drog\u0119 obs\u0142uguj\u0105c\u0105 budynki nale\u017c\u0105ce do korporacji maj\u0105cych swych przedstawicieli w zarz\u0105dzie Exchange Place Alliance. Plany przebudowy placu s\u0105 nie tylko pr\u00f3b\u0105 zaw\u0142aszczenia w\u0142asno\u015bci publicznej, lecz r\u00f3wnie\u017c oczywistym atakiem na Pomnik Katy\u0144ski. Poniewa\u017c efektem referendum w Jersey City w 2018 r. by\u0142a decyzja Rady Miasta gwarantuj\u0105ca, \u017ce Pomnik Katy\u0144ski pozostanie na Exchange Place Plaza na zawsze, zastosowano obecnie now\u0105 strategi\u0119, kt\u00f3ra ma na celu jednocze\u015bnie zas\u0142oni\u0119cie, okaleczenie, ukrycie, ograniczenie widoczno\u015bci i utrudnienie dost\u0119pu do Pomnika i \u2013 w efekcie \u2013 jego degradacj\u0119.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Exchange Place Alliance stoi na czele grupy kt\u00f3rej celem jest marginalizacja i degradacja Pomnika. Jego prezes, Michael DeMarco, wr\u00f3g Pomnika Katy\u0144skiego i polonofob, publicznie uzna\u0142 przekaz pomnika za niew\u0142a\u015bciwy i \u201emakabryczny\u201d i za\u017c\u0105da\u0142 usuni\u0119cia go z Exchange Place. Jego wsp\u00f3\u0142pracownik, burmistrz Steven Fulop \u2013 kolejny polonofob \u2013 dola\u0142 oliwy do ognia, wywo\u0142uj\u0105c mi\u0119dzynarodowy skandal i oburzenie w 2018 roku, kiedy nazwa\u0142 marsza\u0142ka Senatu Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, Stanis\u0142awa Karczewskiego, kt\u00f3ry protestowa\u0142 przeciwko skandalicznym planom usuni\u0119cia pomnika \u201ekpin\u0105, antysemit\u0105, bia\u0142ym nacjonalist\u0105 i negacjonist\u0105 Holokaustu\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dzia\u0142ania Exchange Place Alliance i bezprawne post\u0119powanie Urz\u0119du Planowania w Jersey City, kt\u00f3ry zatwierdzi\u0142 plany \u201erenowacji\u201d Exchange Place Plaza wywo\u0142a\u0142y znacz\u0105cy i zrozumia\u0142y sprzeciw spo\u0142eczno\u015bci polonijnej. Pozostawiona bez wyboru \u2013 z powodu nieust\u0119pliwo\u015bci Exchange Place Alliance i jej niech\u0119ci do zagwarantowania kontynuacji otwartego dost\u0119pu do Pomnika \u2013 Polsko-Ameryka\u0144ska Inicjatywa Strategiczna (PASI), Organizacja Edukacyjna Polsko-Ameryka\u0144skiej Inicjatywy Strategicznej (PASI EDU) oraz Jeanne Daly, mieszkanka Jersey City, z\u0142o\u017cyli w czerwcu 2022 r. pozew s\u0105dowy przeciwko Urz\u0119dowi Planowania Miasta Jersey City i Exchange Place Alliance. R\u00f3wnocze\u015bnie rozpocz\u0119to \u2013 podobnie jak w 2018 r. \u2013 zbi\u00f3rk\u0119 pieni\u0119dzy na wsparcie dzia\u0142a\u0144 prawnych.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Powodowie argumentuj\u0105, \u017ce zgoda na renowacj\u0119 Placu wydana przez Urz\u0105d Planowania by\u0142a niezgodna z prawem, i \u017ce sprawa powinna zosta\u0107 skierowana z powrotem do Urz\u0119du w celu jej ponownego rozpatrzenia, aby umo\u017cliwi\u0107 udzia\u0142 w podejmowaniu decyzji lokalnej spo\u0142eczno\u015bci, kt\u00f3ra wcze\u015bniej zosta\u0142a z tego procesu wykluczona. Powodowie chc\u0105 zachowania swobodnego dost\u0119pu do Pomnika i otwartej przestrzeni wok\u00f3\u0142 niego z panoram\u0105 Manhattanu w tle. W pozwie skrytykowano dzia\u0142ania Exchange Place Alliance maj\u0105ce na celu ukrycie Pomnika, zminimalizowanie jego wizualnego oddzia\u0142ywania i ostatecznie jego degradacji. Jak pami\u0119tamy, Urz\u0105d Planowania Miasta New Jersey pocz\u0105tkowo odrzuci\u0142 plany renowacji proponowane przez Exchange Place Alliance; decyzja ta zosta\u0142a uchylona dwa tygodnie p\u00f3\u017aniej, kiedy to Urz\u0105d Planowania Jersey City uleg\u0142 naciskom politycznym wywieranym \u2013 jak wie\u015b\u0107 niesie \u2013 przez Stevena Fulopa, burmistrza Jersey City i wroga Pomnika Katy\u0144skiego. Czy wcze\u015bniejsze wsparcie funduszu wyborczego burmistrza przez DeMarco Mack-Cali w wysoko\u015bci 250 000 dolar\u00f3w mia\u0142a co\u015b wsp\u00f3lnego z t\u0105 decyzj\u0105? Czy doczekamy si\u0119 odpowiedzi? Jeste\u015bmy ciekawi!<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Jest godne ubolewania, \u017ce sprawa s\u0105dowa zapocz\u0105tkowana przez PASI zosta\u0142a zaatakowana i szeroko krytykowana w mediach spo\u0142eczno\u015bciowych przez Wojciecha Mazura, wiceprzewodnicz\u0105cego grupy znanej jako Komitet Konserwacji Pomnika Katy\u0144skiego i Innych Obiekt\u00f3w Zabytkowych, znanej r\u00f3wnie\u017c jako CCKHMO. Grupa ta broni i wspiera dzia\u0142ania Exchange Place Alliance, mimo \u017ce te s\u0105 niezgodne z oczekiwaniami i odrzucane przez wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 Polonii Ameryka\u0144skiej. Exchange Place Alliance wykorzystuje publiczne poparcie CCKHMO, i b\u0142\u0119dnie twierdzi, \u017ce Polonia ameryka\u0144ska popiera przebudow\u0119 Exchange Place Plaza w formie proponowanej przez Alliance.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    W wywiadzie Marka Bobera z Wojciechem Mazurem, opublikowanym w Gwie\u017adzie Polarnej i przedrukowanym przez Waldemara Binieckiego w Kuryerze Polskim, nie przedstawiono niestety rzetelnych, opartych na faktach informacji na temat Pomnika i nie zweryfikowano twierdze\u0144 pana Mazura. W\u015br\u00f3d nich s\u0105 b\u0142\u0119dne i nieprawdziwe wypowiedzi dotycz\u0105ce PASI i pani Krystyny Pi\u00f3rkowskiej, jednej z najbardziej aktywnych, zaanga\u017cowanych i najlepiej poinformowanych obro\u0144czy\u0144 Pomnika. Wiele stwierdze\u0144 pana Mazura mija si\u0119 z rzeczywisto\u015bci\u0105 i nie ma pokrycia w faktach. Wywiad fa\u0142szywie przedstawia i wyolbrzymia jego rol\u0119, atakuje, przeinacza i umniejsza role odgrywane przez innych, a zw\u0142aszcza przez pani\u0105 Pi\u00f3rkowsk\u0105. Wywiad zawiera absurdalne stwierdzenie, \u017ce sprawa s\u0105dowa zapocz\u0105tkowana przez PASI odwr\u00f3ci\u0142a uwag\u0119 Polonii od wybor\u00f3w w USA i przyczyni\u0142a si\u0119 do ich rozczarowuj\u0105cych wynik\u00f3w. PASI jest obwiniane ponadto za zrujnowanie stosunk\u00f3w CCKHMO z Exchange Place Alliance. Wed\u0142ug pana Mazura, proces s\u0105dowy zainicjowany przez PASI zmusi\u0142 CCKHMO do podpisania oficjalnego o\u015bwiadczenia potwierdzaj\u0105cego lojalno\u015b\u0107 organizacji wobec Exchange Place Alliance. Doprawdy dziwaczne i znacz\u0105ce wyznanie!<br \/><br \/>\n\n    FAKTY: Renowacja Exchange Place przekszta\u0142ca oko\u0142o czterdzie\u015bci procent Placu, b\u0119d\u0105cego w\u0142asno\u015bci\u0105 publiczn\u0105, w prywatn\u0105 drog\u0119 dojazdow\u0105 przeznaczon\u0105 do wy\u0142\u0105cznego u\u017cytku klienteli zlokalizowanych przy niej prywatnych budynk\u00f3w. Projekt w spos\u00f3b niedopuszczalny i nieracjonalny redukuje przestrze\u0144 wok\u00f3\u0142 Pomnika, drastycznie ograniczaj\u0105c w ten spos\u00f3b liczb\u0119 uczestnik\u00f3w przysz\u0142ych uroczysto\u015bci katy\u0144skich przy jednoczesnym uniemo\u017cliwieniu dost\u0119pu do Pomnika z przodu i z bok\u00f3w. Jedyny dost\u0119p do Pomnika, kt\u00f3ry pozostaje stosunkowo otwarty, znajduje si\u0119 z ty\u0142u Pomnika. Istniej\u0105ce plany sprowadzaj\u0105 si\u0119 do zaw\u0142aszczenia w\u0142asno\u015bci publicznej i celowo lekcewa\u017c\u0105 zar\u00f3wno pami\u0119\u0107 ofiar katy\u0144skiego ludob\u00f3jstwa, jak i potrzeby \u017cyj\u0105cych.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Je\u015bli zmiany proponowane przez Alliance zostan\u0105 w pe\u0142ni zrealizowane b\u0119dzie to mia\u0142o powa\u017cny negatywny wp\u0142yw na Pomnik i jego otoczenie. W ich rezultacie Pomnik zostanie odseparowany od reszty Placu i usadowiony za wa\u0142ami i drzewami, wewn\u0105trz niewielkiego owalu tu\u017c obok nowopowsta\u0142ej prywatnej ulicy. Podej\u015bcie do Pomnika b\u0119dzie zablokowane z dw\u00f3ch stron d\u0142ugimi \u0142awkami z absurdalnie wysokimi, prawie dwumetrowymi oparciami, kt\u00f3rych celem jest utrudnienie i ograniczenia dost\u0119pu do Pomnika. Betonowy mur o d\u0142ugo\u015bci dwudziestu jeden st\u00f3p i wysoko\u015bci ponad pi\u0119ciu st\u00f3p zostanie zainstalowany bezpo\u015brednio przed Pomnikiem. Mur, wa\u0142y i \u0142awki maj\u0105 na celu ograniczenie i oddzielenie Pomnika od reszty Placu, ograniczenie dost\u0119pu do niego, zas\u0142oni\u0119cie Pomnika oraz ograniczenie liczby uczestnik\u00f3w obchod\u00f3w odbywaj\u0105cych si\u0119 przy Pomniku. Pi\u0119tna\u015bcie drzew posadzonych wok\u00f3\u0142 Pomnika i rosn\u0105cych z roku na rok spowoduje dalsze, post\u0119puj\u0105ce ograniczanie jego widoczno\u015bci.

She was 58. Two of Walorski\u2019s staffers, Zachery Potts, 27, and Emma Thomson, 28, were passengers with her when a northbound car traveled left of center and collided with them head on. All four individuals were pronounced deceased at the scene. Jacqueline R. Walorski represented Indiana\u2019s 2nd congressional district from 2013 until her death in 2022.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Representative Walorski was a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and served as the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Worker and Family Support, where she focused on helping small businesses grow and expanding opportunities for American workers. Jackie was also the ranking member of the House Ethics Committee, where she worked to hold members of the House to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Walorski worked diligently on issues affecting Indiana Hoosiers and Americans in general. A strong supporter of veterans, she held the Veterans Administration accountable for its failures. Her legislation to protect veterans from over-prescription of addictive painkillers was signed into law as were her mobility equipment standards to protect disabled veterans. She saw agriculture as the backbone of America and supported legislation that helped farmers flourish. On national defense and security, she was committed to ensuring our military has the tools necessary to defeat any threat. On the economy and jobs, she worked to reform the tax code so that it was fairer and simpler for small businesses and families. Walorski also opposed raising taxes on energy and took on the EPA, whose regulations she believed drove up the cost of energy. Jackie also worked to repeal the overly burdensome health care law and replace it with reforms that lowered costs and increased choices for patients.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Before Congress, Jackie served in the Indiana Statehouse for three terms. Also, she and her husband, Dean Swihart, served as missionaries in Romania for four years providing impoverished children with medical care.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Representative Walorski\u2019s untimely death is a distressing shock to her family, Congressional colleagues, Indiana constituents, and American Polonia.<br \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">\n    Republika\u0144ska Reprezentantka Indiany, pani Jackie Walorski, zgin\u0119\u0142a w wypadku samochodowym we \u015brod\u0119, 3 sierpnia, w powiecie Elkhart w stanie Indiana.

Their previous attempts to dismantle the monument and relocate it to the middle of a smelly storm drain were successfully thwarted. Unfortunately, they are now pushing forward with a new plan that obstructs the monument&#8217;s view and restricts the public\u2019s access to it. Their planned removal of the decorative apron not only defiles the integrity of the artistic vision of Andrzej Pitynski, the monument\u2019s creator, it also threatens the monument\u2019s structural integrity and stability. The removal of the apron was irresponsibly approved by the Jersey City Planning Board without any structural calculations or requisite discussion. If the worst scenario is realized and the monument shifts to one side, however minimal it might be, the city will likely be forced to condemn it because it would threaten public safety. Also, the lack of proper ingress and egress raises public safety concerns. Furthermore, the arrogant and dismissive behavior of the Exchange Place Alliance\u2019s representatives toward the public adds needless insult to injury.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    We are asking for your help in defending the venerated Katyn Memorial which stands prominently in Exchange Place, Jersey City, NJ. This 34-foot-tall monument is dedicated to the victims of the horrific WW2 Katyn Forest genocidal mass murder. For over 30 years this monument has hosted memorial ceremonies, wreath layings, and visits by numerous dignitaries including President of Poland, Andrzej Duda and his wife. Ironically, this monument also witnessed the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, which produced the now iconic images of the Katyn Memorial in the foreground while the Twin Towers on the opposite side of the Hudson River burned and collapsed. A plaque commemorating the victims of 9\/11 was created by Andrzej Pitynski and added to the memorial\u2019s granite plinth.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Now in 2022, a new attack on the Katyn Memorial has begun. A 7-foot-high physical and visual barrier is to be installed on its three sides, thereby permanently restricting all gatherings and ceremonies formerly held in front of the monument while facing east over the Hudson River to the New York City skyline. This barrier design is a blatant assault and insult to the Polish community, the memory of those who were murdered in the Katyn Forest, and the lives lost in the 9\/11 tragedy. Equally egregious, this obstruction defiles Andrzej Pitynski\u2019s artistic vision and intent.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    On June 24, 2022, PASI and PASI EDU, together with Jersey City resident and ally Jeanne Daly, filed a court action in defense of the Katyn Monument. This action is against both the Jersey City Planning Board and the Exchange Place Alliance, the same \u201cnon-profit\u201d shell entity consisting of corporate developers and Jersey City major, Steven Fulop&#8217;s campaign donors who initiated the removal of the Katyn Memorial in 2018. We are seeking to overturn May 10, 2022, Jersey City Planning Board\u2019s approval of the current plans submitted by the Exchange Place Alliance and send them back to the Planning Board for a thorough review based on unrestricted public input.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Time is of the essence! On July 16, 2022, the Monument was suddenly enclosed with a chain link fence that was erected without publicly-announced justification or the required permits. Join us in opposing the vengeful destruction of the Katyn Monument! Contact Jersey City Council members and express your disapproval of the Exchange Place Alliance\u2019s deceitful actions!

Ten wysoki na 34 stopy pomnik po\u015bwi\u0119cony jest ofiarom masowego mordu w Lesie Katy\u0144skim podczas II wojny \u015bwiatowej. Od ponad 30 lat pomnik ten jest miejscem uroczysto\u015bci, sk\u0142adania wie\u0144c\u00f3w i wizyt wielu dostojnik\u00f3w, w tym Prezydenta RP Andrzeja Dudy wraz z ma\u0142\u017conk\u0105.

class=\"english\">\n    April 15, 2022<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dear Mr. Pignataro,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    I am writing in response to the 22 August 2019 CTPost article by Lisa Backus titled \u201cOutcry over Holocaust denier\u2019s speech in CT city\u2019s \u2018Little Poland\u2019\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Ms. Backus writes that New Britain City Council members Carlo Carlozzi and Kate Breslin accused Mr. Edward Reid of being an \u201canti-Semite\u201d and \u201cwell-known Holocaust denier\u201d. These are serious accusations that are false and maliciously defamatory. Ms. Backus presents no evidence to support these accusations.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Two principles of journalism are pursuit of the truth and accuracy of the facts. Journalists can\u2019t always guarantee truth but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. Rather than require Mr. Carlozzi and Ms. Breslin to provide supporting evidence for their baseless and slanderous accusations, Ms. Backus instead parroted them in the article\u2019s headline and text. This is an egregious violation of journalistic principles.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Ms. Backus further writes that Mr. Adrian Baron called Mr. Reid\u2019s scheduled presentation a \u201cfringe event\u201d, which conveys a notably negative connotation. However, no effort was made to have Mr. Baron explain his term \u201cfringe event\u201d. Once again, Ms. Backus committed an egregious violation of journalistic principles. Moreover, the CTPost editors who approved the article\u2019s publication committed the same deplorable violation.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    As I\u2019m sure you will surmise by my letter, I know Mr. Reid personally. I can confirm that the disparaging accusations made by Mr. Carlozzi and Ms. Breslin, irresponsibly parroted by Ms. Backus, and senselessly published by your editors, are baseless and false. As empirical evidence that validates my statement, I ask that you vist Mr. Reid\u2019s website at <a href=\"https:\/\/polishtruth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/polishtruth.com\/<\/a>. Thorough examination of his website, which Ms. Backus and your editors could have easily done, will confirm that the accusations of \u201canti-Semite\u201d, \u201cwell-known Holocaust denier\u201d, and \u201cfringe event\u201d are not only categorically false but further question the underlying motives of the accusers.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    I would like you to know that this article, and the many antagonistic responses directed against Mr. Reid because of it, continue to weigh on him. Because the article was, and continues to be blatantly false, malicious, and undeserved, I ask that you place yourself in his position and consider how you would react to such unwarranted animus and recurring hostility. I therefore respectfully request that you permanently remove the article from the archives of the CTPost. I further ask for your reply to my request and the action you have taken or will take. If you disagree with my request for the article\u2019s removal, I ask that you provide your justification for your disagreement.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Cordially,<br \/><br \/><br \/>\n\n\n    Gene Sokolowski, PhD<br \/><br \/>\n\n    President, Polish American Strategic Initiative Education Organization<br \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n\n\n<span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">\n    15 kwietnia, 2022<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Szanowny Panie Pignataro,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Zwracam si\u0119 do Pana w kwestii artyku\u0142u Lisy Backus w CTPost z 22 sierpnia 2019 r. pt. \u201eOburzenie wywo\u0142ane planowanym przem\u00f3wieniem negacjonisty Holocaustu w \u201eMa\u0142ej Polsce\u201d ,CT\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Pani Backus pisze, \u017ce cz\u0142onkowie Rady Miasta New Britain, Carlo Carlozzi i Kate Breslin, oskar\u017cyli Edwarda Reida o bycie \u201eantysemit\u0105\u201d i \u201eznanym negacjonist\u0105 Holokaustu\u201d. S\u0105 to powa\u017cne oskar\u017cenia, kt\u00f3re s\u0105 fa\u0142szywe i z\u0142o\u015bliwie znies\u0142awiaj\u0105ce. Pani Backus nie przedstawia \u017cadnych dowod\u00f3w na poparcie tych oskar\u017ce\u0144.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dwie podstawowe zasady dziennikarstwa to d\u0105\u017cenie do prawdy i \u015bcis\u0142o\u015bci fakt\u00f3w. Dziennikarze nie zawsze mog\u0105 zagwarantowa\u0107 prawd\u0119, ale poprawno\u015b\u0107 fakt\u00f3w jest naczeln\u0105 zasad\u0105 dziennikarstwa. Zamiast wymaga\u0107 od pana Carlozziego i pani Breslin przedstawienia dowod\u00f3w potwierdzaj\u0105cych ich bezpodstawne i oszczercze oskar\u017cenia, pani Backus powt\u00f3rzy\u0142a je jak papuga w nag\u0142\u00f3wku i tek\u015bcie artyku\u0142u. To ra\u017c\u0105ce naruszenie zasad dziennikarskich.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Pani Backus pisze dalej, \u017ce pan Adrian Baron nazwa\u0142 zaplanowane spotkanie z panem Reidem \u201emarginalnym wydarzeniem\u201d, kt\u00f3re niesie ze sob\u0105 szczeg\u00f3lnie negatywne skojarzenia. Nie podj\u0119to jednak \u017cadnych stara\u0144, aby pan Baron wyja\u015bni\u0142 sw\u00f3j termin \u201ewydarzenie marginalne\u201d. Po raz kolejny pani Backus dopu\u015bci\u0142a si\u0119 ra\u017c\u0105cego naruszenia zasad dziennikarskich. Co wi\u0119cej, redaktorzy CTPost, kt\u00f3rzy zatwierdzili publikacj\u0119 artyku\u0142u, pope\u0142nili to samo godne ubolewania naruszenie.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Jak z pewno\u015bci\u0105 Pan wnioskuje z mojego listu, osobi\u015bcie znam pana Reida. Mog\u0119 potwierdzi\u0107, \u017ce lekcewa\u017c\u0105ce oskar\u017cenia wysuwane przez pana Carlozziego i pani\u0105 Breslin, nieodpowiedzialnie powtarzane przez pani\u0105 Backus i bezsensownie opublikowane przez Waszych redaktor\u00f3w, s\u0105 bezpodstawne i fa\u0142szywe. Jako dow\u00f3d empiryczny, kt\u00f3ry potwierdza moje stwierdzenie, prosz\u0119 o odwiedzenie strony internetowej pana Reida pod adresem <a href=\"https:\/\/polishtruth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/polishtruth.com\/<\/a>.

Larson, Honorable Members Mr. Bill Pascrell, Jr., Ms. Terri A. Sewell, Ms. Gwen Moore, Ranking Member Mr. Tom Reed, Mr. Tom Rice, Mr. Jodey C. Arrington, Mr. Ron Estes, Mr. Kevin Hern.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dear Chairman Larson and Subcommittee Members:<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Since many Polish Americans are among your loyal constituents, we are writing in unity with them to ask you to co-sponsor H.R. 82, \u201cSocial Security Fairness Act of 2021\u201d, which your colleagues Representatives Linda S\u00e1nchez, Brian Higgins, Steven Horsford, and Earl Blumenauer have done. Additionally, we ask that you vote to report your findings to the House Ways and Means Committee so that it may be brought to the House Floor and voted on.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    As you know, H.R. 82 permanently repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), both of which unfairly, and too often drastically, reduce the Social Security benefits of numerous government workers and legal immigrants. As a result, many fall into low-income and poverty status.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The GPO and WEP provisions are especially unjust towards legal immigrants whose small retirement pensions come from their native countries. Many of your constituents, including a considerable number of Polish Americans, fled persecution under repressive governments and are adversely affected by these provisions. These constituents are primarily first-generation immigrants who retire with a very modest income that combines Social Security benefits with a foreign pension. Their combined income frequently falls below the poverty threshold. Because these immigrants did not have an option to work in jobs covered by Social Security in their native country, reducing their benefits is discriminatory and unjust. Their foreign pension can in no way be called a \u201cwindfall\u201d, which is commonly defined as an \u201cunexpected gain\u201d and \u201cpiece of good fortune\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    H.R. 5723 is, most commendably, a major overhaul of the Social Security system; however, Section 110, paragraph (c)(1) only repeals the WEP and GPO restrictions within the years 2022 to 2026. Offering temporary rather than permanent relief to 2.5 million retired Americans who are adversely affected by these provisions appears to be counterintuitive. Furthermore, because H.R. 82 currently has 267 bipartisan cosponsors and will be easily passed, withholding it from a House Floor vote appears to be equally counterintuitive.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Because H.R. 82 will quickly provide these Americans with much-needed, permanent economic relief as well as correct a longstanding injustice, it is imperative that these restrictions be repealed immediately. We respectfully implore you to vote with your four Subcommittee colleagues and report your findings to the House Ways and Means Committee so that H.R. 82 can be brought to the House Floor and voted on.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Sincerely,<br \/><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Podpis_Edward_Jesman.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n    Edward W.

Allen, Mr. Fred Keller, Ms. Mary E. Miller, Mr. Madison Cawthorn, Ms. Michelle Steel, Ms. Julia Letlow.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Dear Chairman Sablan and Subcommittee Members:<br \/><br \/>\n\n    As a coalition of Polish American organizations nationwide, we wish to inform you of our position on the comic book MAUS, which the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee recently removed from its curriculum because of violence, inappropriate language, and nudity. We applaud the decision; however, we wish to point out five additional, essential reasons that justify the book&#8217;s removal from school curricula in the United States.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    First, the book is not ethically suitable for educational instruction. Ethical writing requires accurate and unbiased accounts; however, MAUS is a historically inaccurate expression of the author&#8217;s prejudice against Poles as a nation. In The Norton Anthology of American Literature, editors Jerome Klinkowitz and Patricia B. Wallace describe Spiegelman&#8217;s representation of Poles as pigs as &#8220;a calculated insult&#8221; against Poles. Pigs in popular culture are viewed as disgusting, filthy animals, while in Jewish culture, pigs and pork are unclean in a way that other animals are not. MAUS employs the same imagery of Poles found in Nazi German propaganda, where they were routinely referred to as &#8220;Polish pigs.&#8221; The highly offensive depiction of Poles as &#8220;pigs&#8221;, with all the derisive and racist connotations, forms a mental image that cannot be easily erased from the impressionable minds of young students whose knowledge of World War II history and the genocide perpetrated against Poles by the German and Soviet occupiers is minimal at best.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Second, the book is not suitable as a historical account because it falsifies the facts through distortions and material omissions. Poles are portrayed as Nazi German sympathizers, which was never the case. Civil resistance among Poles was universal and the underground Home Army fought the Germans at every turn. Unlike other German-occupied and Axis -allied countries, Poles never formed a collaborationist government, never formed a militia to round up or execute Jews, and never formed SS units. Spiegelman portrays all Auschwitz kapos as Poles, which is complete fiction as there are many eyewitness testimonies by Auschwitz Jews who detail the cruelties inflicted on them by Jewish kapos. He omits the fact that only in Poland those helping Jews, in any way, faced the death penalty together with immediate family. Instead, Poles helping Jews are depicted as greedy and deceitful. Spiegelman also omits the fact that the Germans often relied on Jewish Gestapo agents to hunt down Jewish ghetto escapees. This role is assigned exclusively to Poles, which is egregiously false.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Third, the book is not suitable from an educational perspective because few readers, especially elementary and high school students, have enough historical knowledge to recognize the falsified depiction of Poles. To have educational value, the treatment of historical context must strive for accuracy and objectivity. Hitler&#8217;s attempted destruction of Europe&#8217;s Jews is a historical event that is rightly considered an important historical topic. However, it is essential that other national groups who were subjected to German genocidal policies are presented fairly. Although Hitler&#8217;s policy for European Jews was comprehensive genocide, his policy for Poles was also comprehensive genocide but over a longer time period. As historian Richard C. Lukas describes in his book Forgotten Holocaust, the secret protocol in the 1939 German-Soviet nonaggression pact prescribed the destruction of the Polish people and the annihilation of the Polish state. Polish deaths during World War II were proportionately by far the greatest of any nation participating in the war. For Poland, the deaths of Poles and Polish Jews was a double genocide.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Fourth, MAUS does not teach students about the complexities of the Holocaust but instead falsifies and oversimplifies them. The reality is that neither students nor their teachers possess the necessary tools to assess the book&#8217;s flaws properly. For example, the portrayal of Poles contains serious falsehoods and misrepresentations regarding their alleged role in the Holocaust. Such rewriting of history is deplorable and unacceptable by any standard. The notion that teachers can and will expose the author&#8217;s biases and misrepresentations is doubtful. Since there is a choice of educational materials that may be used to teach a factual history of World War II and the Holocaust, it is imperative to choose books that are historically accurate and respectful of all the victims of Hitler&#8217;s genocidal policies. By contrast, MAUS clearly cannot be treated as an accurate historical record. Nevertheless, after Pulitzer Prize jurors designated the book in 1992 as nonfiction and gave it the Special Award in Letters, it wrongly continues to be considered as such.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Fifth, school children of Polish background who are required to study this book justifiably feel that their identity and cultural heritage has been diminished and are understandably humiliated by this experience. One should be aware that grandparents of these children may have been inmates of German concentration and death camps. Their family members may have been tortured, executed, forced to work as slave laborers, or subjected to medical experiments. Portraying Poles as a nation of pigs is egregiously offensive and constitutes willful harm to the memory of millions of Poles who died at the hands of the Germans. The victims of the Germans&#8217; premeditated genocide included many: Jews, Poles, Russians and Roma. Choosing a book that addresses Hitler&#8217;s genocidal policies and respects the memory of all those who perished is necessary for advancing students&#8217; knowledge and understanding of this important historical subject. The purpose of education is not to distort the facts and cause distress and division among students.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Based on reasons outlined above, we consider MAUS to be highly defamatory, a form of hate speech against Poles and, therefore, unsuitable, and unacceptable as a teaching material. Spiegelman&#8217;s comic book falsifies history and deeply offends on many levels. No book in any school curriculum targets another group for derision in this way; it is abusive and psychologically damaging. The bigoted stereotype of Poles should have no place in education. Spiegelman&#8217;s Polonophobic slurs, falsely considered a work of historical nonfiction, should be promptly and permanently removed from school curricula and school libraries. No child should be forced to study a book that treats his or her national group or community in the dishonest and prejudiced way that Poles are portrayed in MAUS.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Depiction of the entire Polish ethnic group as pigs offends the people of Polish descent and is racist in its nature. Title VI, 42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq., prohibits discrimination based on race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The use of MAUS \u2013 a prime example of anti-Polish hate speech \u2013 as educational material constitutes discrimination and abuse of Polish American students. It forces them not only to study biased educational materials but also imposes on them a bigoted stereotype of brutish, primitive, and dishonest &#8220;Polacks&#8221;. Such treatment causes great pain and suffering to the youth of Polish descent and subjects them to bullying. For many Polish American students forced to study MAUS, the psychological impact is traumatizing and, at a minimum, adversely affects their self-confidence and academic performance. Furthermore, the exclusion of materials that truthfully present all the victims of Hitler&#8217;s genocidal policies is discriminatory and violates states&#8217; educational standards of historical accuracy.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    We respectfully ask the Subcommittee to instruct the Department of Education and Department of Justice to send &#8220;Dear Colleague&#8221; letters to state directors of public education requiring them to instruct their local school districts that the use of MAUS should be promptly discontinued. We further ask that the letters recommend using World War II educational materials that are historically accurate and address all victims of Hitler&#8217;s genocidal policies.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Sincerely,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    List of signatories as of 03\/23\/2022<br \/><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tGene Sokolowski, Ph.D., President, Polish American Strategic Initiative Educational Organization <a href=\"mailto:gsokolow@verizon.net\">gsokolow@verizon.net<\/a>, <a class=\"telmobile\" href=\"tel:+1-703-966-5109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(703) 966-5109<\/a><span class=\"teldesktop\">(703) 966-5109<\/span><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tEdward Wojciech Je\u015bman, President, PASI &#8211; Polish American Strategic Initiative <a href=\"mailto:president@joinpasi.org\">president@joinpasi.org<\/a>, <a class=\"telmobile\" href=\"tel:+1-310-291-2681\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(310) 291-2681<\/a><span class=\"teldesktop\">(310) 291-2681<\/span><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tJames J.

Popieramy t\u0105 decyzj\u0119; chcieliby\u015bmy jednak wskaza\u0107 na pi\u0119\u0107 dodatkowych, wa\u017cniejszych przyczyn, kt\u00f3re uzasadniaj\u0105 usuni\u0119cie tej ksi\u0105\u017cki raz na zawsze z program\u00f3w szkolnych na terenie ca\u0142ych Stan\u00f3w Zjednoczonych.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Po pierwsze, ksi\u0105\u017cka nie nadaje si\u0119 do nauczania z powod\u00f3w etycznych. Rzetelno\u015b\u0107 przekazu pisanego zale\u017cy od dok\u0142adno\u015bci i bezstronno\u015bci relacji; MAUS jest przekazem zafa\u0142szowanym historycznie, kt\u00f3ry jest wyrazem uprzedze\u0144 autora wzgl\u0119dem Polak\u00f3w jako narodu. Jerome Klinkowitz i Patricia B. Wallace, redaktorzy The Norton Anthology of American Literature, definiuj\u0105 przedstawienie Polak\u00f3w przez autora komiksu, Arta Spiegelmana, jako \u015bwinie, jako celow\u0105 zniewag\u0119 i pr\u00f3b\u0119 poni\u017cenia Polak\u00f3w. W kulturze masowej \u015bwinie s\u0105 postrzegane jako odra\u017caj\u0105ce, brudne zwierz\u0119ta, a w kulturze \u017cydowskiej \u015bwinie i wieprzowina s\u0105 uwa\u017cane za nieczyste, w taki spos\u00f3b, \u017ce je to odr\u00f3\u017cnia w wyra\u017any i negatywny spos\u00f3b od innych zwierz\u0105t. MAUS wykorzystuje t\u0119 sam\u0105 symbolik\u0119 i s\u0142ownictwo kreuj\u0105c obraz Polak\u00f3w, kt\u00f3ry mo\u017cna znale\u017a\u0107 w niemieckiej propagandzie okresu II wojny \u015bwiatowej, kt\u00f3ra rutynowo nazywa\u0142a Polak\u00f3w \u201epolskimi \u015bwiniami\u201d. Wysoce obra\u017aliwe przedstawienie Polak\u00f3w jako \u015bwinie, ze wszystkimi negatywnymi i rasistowskimi tego s\u0142owa konotacjami, tworzy obraz, kt\u00f3rego nie spos\u00f3b jest wymaza\u0107 z podatnych na wp\u0142ywy i sugestie umys\u0142\u00f3w dzieci i m\u0142odzie\u017cy, tym bardziej \u017ce ich znajomo\u015b\u0107 historii II wojny \u015bwiatowej i polityki ludob\u00f3jstwa pope\u0142nionego na Polakach przez okupant\u00f3w niemieckich i sowieckich s\u0105, w najlepszym razie, minimalne.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Po drugie, ksi\u0105\u017cka nie spe\u0142nia wymog\u00f3w rzetelnej narracji historycznej, poniewa\u017c fa\u0142szuje ona i przeinacza w spos\u00f3b oczywisty fakty. Polacy s\u0105 przedstawiani w niej jako sympatycy niemieckiego nazizmu, co jest nieprawd\u0105 i co nigdy nie mia\u0142o miejsca. Op\u00f3r wzgl\u0119dem niemieckiej okupacji by\u0142 w\u015br\u00f3d Polak\u00f3w powszechny, a podziemny ruch oporu by\u0142 zjawiskiem bardzo rozpowszechnionym. W przeciwie\u0144stwie do innych okupowanych przez Niemc\u00f3w lub sprzymierzonych z nimi kraj\u00f3w, Polacy nigdy nie utworzyli kolaboracyjnego rz\u0105du, nigdy nie stworzyli polskich oddzia\u0142\u00f3w SS i nigdy nie tworzyli grup i boj\u00f3wek, kt\u00f3rych celem by\u0142o wy\u0142apywanie i mordowanie \u017byd\u00f3w. Co wi\u0119cej, w komiksie Arta Spiegelmana wszyscy kapo w Auschwitz s\u0105 Polakami, co jest kompletn\u0105 fikcj\u0105. Przecz\u0105 temu liczne zeznania \u017byd\u00f3w ocala\u0142ych z Auschwitz, naocznych \u015bwiadk\u00f3w, kt\u00f3rzy szczeg\u00f3\u0142owo opisuj\u0105 okrucie\u0144stwa zadawane im przez \u017cydowskich kapo. Autor pomija r\u00f3wnie\u017c fakt, \u017ce Polakom i ich najbli\u017cszym, za pomoc ludno\u015bci \u017cydowskiej, grozi\u0142a kara \u015bmierci. Wbrew faktom, Polacy pomagaj\u0105cy \u017bydom s\u0105 przedstawiani w komiksie jako osoby chciwe i podst\u0119pne. Art Spiegelman zapomina r\u00f3wnie\u017c, \u017ce Niemcom poluj\u0105cym na \u017cydowskich uciekinier\u00f3w z getta pomagali liczni \u017cydowscy agenci Gestapo. Tego typu zachowania przypisywane s\u0105 w komiksie wy\u0142\u0105cznie Polakom, co ra\u017c\u0105co mija si\u0119 z prawd\u0105 historyczn\u0105.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Po trzecie, ksi\u0105\u017cka posiada w\u0105tpliw\u0105 warto\u015b\u0107 edukacyjn\u0105, poniewa\u017c niewielu czytelnik\u00f3w, zw\u0142aszcza uczni\u00f3w szk\u00f3\u0142 podstawowych i \u015brednich, ma wystarczaj\u0105c\u0105 wiedz\u0119 historyczn\u0105, aby rozpozna\u0107 w tej ksi\u0105\u017cce zafa\u0142szowany obraz Polak\u00f3w. Aby stanowi\u0107 warto\u015b\u0107 edukacyjn\u0105, materia\u0142y dydaktyczne musz\u0105 dok\u0142adnie i obiektywnie przedstawia\u0107 kontekst historyczny. Eksterminacja europejskich \u017byd\u00f3w przez Hitlera jest faktem historycznym, kt\u00f3ry s\u0142usznie uwa\u017cany jest za wa\u017cny temat w nauczaniu historii. Wa\u017cne jest jednak, aby historia innych grup narodowych, kt\u00f3re r\u00f3wnie\u017c podlega\u0142y niemieckiej polityce eksterminacji i ludob\u00f3jstwa, by\u0142a w pe\u0142ni i w\u0142a\u015bciwie uwzgl\u0119dniona w nauczaniu, a ich martyrologia wiernie w niej przedstawiana. Polityka Hitlera wobec europejskich \u017byd\u00f3w by\u0142a polityk\u0105 ludob\u00f3jcz\u0105, podobnie jak i niemiecka polityka eksterminacji Polak\u00f3w, chocia\u017c ta mia\u0142a by\u0107 rozci\u0105gni\u0119ta w czasie. Jak opisuje w swojej ksi\u0105\u017cce \u201cZapomniany Holokaust\u201d historyk Richard C. Lukas, tajny protok\u00f3\u0142 b\u0119d\u0105cy cz\u0119\u015bci\u0105 niemiecko-sowieckiego paktu o nieagresji z 1939 r. przewidywa\u0142 fizyczne zniszczenie narodu polskiego i unicestwienie polskiego pa\u0144stwa. \u015amiertelno\u015b\u0107 w\u015br\u00f3d Polak\u00f3w podczas II wojny \u015bwiatowej by\u0142a proporcjonalnie najwy\u017csza spo\u015br\u00f3d wszystkich narod\u00f3w bior\u0105cych udzia\u0142 w wojnie. Dla Polski eksterminacja Polak\u00f3w i polskich \u017byd\u00f3w by\u0142a polityk\u0105 podw\u00f3jnego ludob\u00f3jstwa.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Po czwarte, MAUS nie prezentuje uczniom pe\u0142nego obrazu II wojny \u015bwiatowej, lecz albo j\u0105 fa\u0142szuje, albo zaw\u0119\u017ca i nadmiernie upraszcza. W rzeczywisto\u015bci ani uczniowie, ani ich nauczyciele nie posiadaj\u0105 narz\u0119dzi i wiedzy niezb\u0119dnych do krytycznej oceny tej lektury. Portret Polak\u00f3w jako ch\u0119tnych uczestnik\u00f3w eksterminacji \u017byd\u00f3w zawiera bez w\u0105tpienia powa\u017cne przeinaczenia i jest ewidentnym zafa\u0142szowaniem historii. Przepisywanie historii na nowo przez autora jest nie do przyj\u0119cia i jest godne pot\u0119pienia. Oczywiste jest, \u017ce wsp\u00f3\u0142czesne pokolenie nauczycieli nie zna na tyle historii II wojny \u015bwiatowej, \u017ceby mog\u0142o rozumie\u0107 uprzedzenia i przeinaczenia prawdy historycznej dokonane przez autora i w\u0105tpliwe jest, aby mog\u0142o je tym samym demaskowa\u0107, t\u0142umaczy\u0107 i ujawnia\u0107. Bior\u0105c pod uwag\u0119 fakt, \u017ce istniej\u0105 rzetelne materia\u0142y edukacyjne, kt\u00f3re mo\u017cna wykorzysta\u0107 do nauczania prawdziwej historii II wojny \u015bwiatowej i niemieckiego ludob\u00f3jstwa, konieczny jest dob\u00f3r lektur, kt\u00f3ry odpowiada prawdzie historycznej i uwzgl\u0119dnia wszystkie ofiary ludob\u00f3jczej polityki Hitlera. Komiks MAUS ewidentnie nie mo\u017ce by\u0107 traktowany jako rzetelna relacja historyczna. Niemniej, po tym jak jurorzy Nagrody Pulitzera uznali komiks Spiegelmana w 1992 roku za literatur\u0119 faktu i przyznali mu Nagrod\u0119 Specjaln\u0105 w tej kategorii, pozycja ta dalej nies\u0142usznie i absurdalnie uwa\u017cana jest za literatur\u0119 faktu.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Po pi\u0105te, dzieci w wieku szkolnym polskiego pochodzenia, od kt\u00f3rych wymaga si\u0119 czytania i studiowania tej ksi\u0105\u017cki, s\u0142usznie czuj\u0105, \u017ce ich to\u017csamo\u015b\u0107 i dziedzictwo kulturowe zosta\u0142y umniejszone i s\u0105, co jest zrozumia\u0142e, upokorzone tym do\u015bwiadczeniem. Trzeba pami\u0119ta\u0107, \u017ce dziadkowie tych dzieci mogli by\u0107 wi\u0119\u017aniami niemieckich oboz\u00f3w koncentracyjnych i oboz\u00f3w zag\u0142ady. Cz\u0142onkowie ich rodzin mogli by\u0107 torturowani, mordowani, zmuszani do pracy niewolniczej lub poddawani eksperymentom medycznym. Przedstawianie Polak\u00f3w jako narodu \u015bwi\u0144 jest ra\u017c\u0105co i celowo obra\u017aliwe oraz umy\u015blnie obra\u017ca pami\u0119\u0107 milion\u00f3w Polak\u00f3w, kt\u00f3rzy zgin\u0119li z r\u0105k Niemc\u00f3w. Ofiarami polityki eksterminacji pope\u0142nionej przez Niemc\u00f3w byli \u017bydzi, Polacy, Rosjanie, Romowie i wielu innych. Wyb\u00f3r lektur, kt\u00f3re odnosz\u0105 si\u0119 do ludob\u00f3jczej polityki Hitlera i szanuj\u0105 pami\u0119\u0107 wszystkich tych, kt\u00f3rzy zgin\u0119li, jest niezb\u0119dny dla rzeczywistego zrozumienia przez uczni\u00f3w tego wa\u017cnego historycznego tematu. Edukacja nie mo\u017ce by\u0107 r\u00f3wnoznaczna ze zniekszta\u0142caniem fakt\u00f3w, tworzeniem podzia\u0142\u00f3w i wprowadzaniem uczni\u00f3w w stan depresji i desperacji.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Z wy\u017cej wymienionych powod\u00f3w, uwa\u017camy lektur\u0119 MAUS za wysoce obra\u017aliw\u0105, za mow\u0119 nienawi\u015bci skierowan\u0105 przeciwko Polakom. Ksi\u0105\u017cka ta jest nie do przyj\u0119cia jako materia\u0142 dydaktyczny. Komiks Spiegelmana fa\u0142szuje histori\u0119 i g\u0142\u0119boko obra\u017ca na wielu p\u0142aszczyznach. \u017badna lektura w szkolnych programach nauczania w Stanach Zjednoczonych nie poni\u017ca w ten spos\u00f3b innej grupy narodowo\u015bciowej. Komiks ten jest obra\u017aliwy i wulgarny i wp\u0142ywa destrukcyjnie na psychik\u0119 uczni\u00f3w maj\u0105cych polskie korzenie. Kreowanie i pos\u0142ugiwanie si\u0119 fa\u0142szywym i pe\u0142nym bigoterii stereotypem Polaka nie powinno mie\u0107 miejsca w edukacji. Polonofobiczne obelgi Spiegelmana, promowane na dzie\u0142o literatury faktu historycznego, powinny zosta\u0107 niezw\u0142ocznie i trwale usuni\u0119te z program\u00f3w szkolnych i bibliotek szkolnych. \u017badne dziecko, \u017caden ucze\u0144 nie powinien by\u0107 zmuszany do studiowania ksi\u0105\u017cki, kt\u00f3ra traktuje go, jego grup\u0119 narodow\u0105 lub spo\u0142eczno\u015b\u0107 w spos\u00f3b nieuczciwy, fa\u0142szywy i wrogi, tak jak Polacy s\u0105 portretowani w MAUS.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Paragraph VI, 42 U.S.C. 2000d zabrania dyskryminacji ze wzgl\u0119du na ras\u0119, kolor sk\u00f3ry i pochodzenie narodowe w programach i dzia\u0142alno\u015bci otrzymuj\u0105cej federaln\u0105 pomoc finansow\u0105. Wykorzystanie MAUS \u2013 klasycznego przyk\u0142adu antypolskiej mowy nienawi\u015bci \u2013 jako materia\u0142u edukacyjnego stanowi dyskryminacj\u0119 i prze\u015bladowanie uczni\u00f3w polskiego pochodzenia. Zmusza ich nie tylko do studiowania tendencyjnych i historycznie nieprawdziwych materia\u0142\u00f3w, ale tak\u017ce obra\u017ca ich promowaniem stereotypu brutalnych, prymitywnych i nieuczciwych \u201ePolaczk\u00f3w\u201d. Takie traktowanie nie tylko wywo\u0142uje wstyd i oburzenie, ale tak\u017ce nara\u017ca uczni\u00f3w na n\u0119kanie. Dla wielu ameryka\u0144skich student\u00f3w polskiego pochodzenia, zmuszonych do czytania MAUS, do\u015bwiadczenie to jest traumatyczne oraz negatywnie wp\u0142ywa na ich samoocen\u0119 i wyniki w nauce. Co wi\u0119cej, wy\u0142\u0105czenie materia\u0142\u00f3w, kt\u00f3re zgodnie z prawd\u0105 historyczn\u0105 przedstawiaj\u0105 wszystkie ofiary ludob\u00f3jczej polityki Hitlera, jest dyskryminuj\u0105ce i narusza federalne standardy edukacyjne dotycz\u0105ce rzetelno\u015bci i dok\u0142adno\u015bci narracji historycznej.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Zwracamy si\u0119 do Podkomisji aby poinstruowa\u0142a Departament Edukacji i Departament Sprawiedliwo\u015bci o konieczno\u015bci wys\u0142ania list\u00f3w (\u201eSzanowny Kolego\u201d) do dyrektor\u00f3w stanowych instytucji odpowiedzialnych za kszta\u0142t program\u00f3w szkolnych oraz aby poinstruowali okr\u0119gi szkolne zlokalizowane w zarz\u0105dzanych przez nich stanach aby te niezw\u0142ocznie zaprzesta\u0142y korzysta\u0107 z MAUS jako lektury zar\u00f3wno obowi\u0105zkowej jak i pomocniczej w nauczaniu historii. Ponadto prosimy, aby listy te zaleca\u0142y wprowadzenie w zamian lektur rzetelnych pod wzgl\u0119dem historycznym i przedstawiaj\u0105cych wszystkie ofiary ludob\u00f3jczej polityki Hitlera.<br \/><br \/>\n\n\n    Z powa\u017caniem,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tGene Sokolowski, Ph.D., President, Polish American Strategic Initiative Educational Organization <a href=\"mailto:gsokolow@verizon.net\">gsokolow@verizon.net<\/a>, <a class=\"telmobile\" href=\"tel:+1-703-966-5109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(703) 966-5109<\/a><span class=\"teldesktop\">(703) 966-5109<\/span><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tEdward Wojciech Je\u015bman, President, PASI &#8211; Polish American Strategic Initiative <a href=\"mailto:president@joinpasi.org\">president@joinpasi.org<\/a>, <a class=\"telmobile\" href=\"tel:+1-310-291-2681\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(310) 291-2681<\/a><span class=\"teldesktop\">(310) 291-2681<\/span><br \/>\n\n    \u2022\tJames J.

In view of this, we are grateful that the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act provides critically-needed humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and the five refugee-hosting countries of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reports that, as of 15 March, 2.86 million Ukrainians have fled to the five refugee-hosting countries. Of these, Poland has received the largest number of refugees, 1.83 million (64 percent), and Poles have responded with outstanding generosity and compassion. Of this number, approximately 625,000 are children and of these, about 500,000 are of school age who need to be enrolled in Polish schools. The Minister of Education reports that about 42,500 children are now enrolled and tens of thousands more are expected. Additionally, and most importantly, the Polish government has formally obligated itself to provide requisite aid and support to all refugees for an 18-month period with likely extensions.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    However, while private and government efforts have been exceptionally laudable, Poland is now struggling to adequately support the unceasing influx of refugees. There is a continuous need for beds, meals, medical supplies, psychologists, interpreters, teachers, and a range of other critical resources and services. Poland is rapidly approaching its reception capacity and this will soon be the case for Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act states that the purpose of the $2.65 billion allocated for International Disaster Assistance is \u201cto respond to humanitarian needs in Ukraine and in countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine, including the provision of emergency food and shelter\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Additionally, the $1.4 billion for Migration and Refugee Assistance has been allocated to \u201cassist refugees from Ukraine\u201d, most of whom have fled to Poland.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    As Polish Americans, we are well aware of the serious impact this crisis continues to have on Poland and want to ensure that adequate levels of funding from the combined humanitarian aid total of $4.05 billion are provided.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    We therefore respectfully request the following:<br \/><br \/>\n\n    1.\tWe ask that you direct the immediate disbursement of these funds to the governments and humanitarian agencies of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    2.\tBecause Poland has received over 64 percent of Ukraine\u2019s refugees and will most assuredly continue to receive this share or more, we ask that you ensure at least 64 percent of the funding is provided to the government and humanitarian agencies of Poland.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    3.\tAs there is no end in sight to the destruction in Ukraine, and as there is no end in sight to the flow of refugees into Poland, we ask that this funding serve as a first tranche that will be successively supplemented in response to changing conditions.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Sincerely,<br \/><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Podpis_Edward_Jesman.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n    Edward W.

Unfortunately, this traditional approach seems to be a thing of the past. There were several problems with the hearing. The witnesses consisted of four liberal mayors who opposed their current conservative governments. The Subcommittee did not invite any witnesses that could provide differing perspectives and respond to the criticisms voiced during the hearing. The testimonies of the witnesses were one-sided. The four mayors presented various accusations against their current governments, which the Subcommittee accepted at face value and made no attempt to verify the factual accuracy of the testimony. The testimony appeared to be a partisan attempt to gain political sympathy from Democratic Party leaders.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    The questions asked to the witnesses were unmistakably leading. No impartial viewer would conclude that they intended to provide the audience with a balanced discussion about issues in Central Europe. Instead, the questions conveyed a partisan message about who is correct and who is not. Several loaded phrases, such as \u201cbacksliding on democracy\u201d and \u201cauthoritarian tendencies\u201d that were used throughout the hearing were presented as established facts. They left the audience with a notably distorted view of what is occurring in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. In our opinion, the image presented was entirely subjective and maliciously false.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Consequently, we deplore the fact that Subcommittee members of the party that prides itself as the champion of fairness, diversity, and inclusion instead conducted a hearing that contradicted these principles. There are over 10 million U.S. citizens with Polish roots and our community embraces a broad diversity of political views. However, we also know that fairness and balance are essential to democratic discourse. This hearing was unfair, lacked diversity of thought, and was exceptionally exclusive. Rather than conduct a balanced and fair discussion of the issues in these four countries, the Subcommittee instead presented a singularly partisan position, which not only misrepresents the facts but also constitutes blatant intellectual fraud. Notably, a number of Polish American organizations submitted relevant questions to the Subcommittee before the hearing.  None of them were brought up in the hearing or even alluded to. As a result, we believe the hearing disregarded the voices of our community and needlessly and gratuitously discriminated against the many Polish Americans who do not share the views expressed by the four \u201cwitnesses.\u201d<br \/><br \/>\n\n    A foundational element of democracy is the sovereignty of a democratic society. Therefore, it is disappointingly ironic that Subcommittee members came distressingly close to interfering in the internal affairs of four Central European countries and infringing on their sovereignty by presenting a distorted picture of their national matters. We remain hopeful that future House hearings on Central Europe and particularly Poland will be conducted in a fair and balanced way so that factual realities rather than biased narratives are presented.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Sincerely,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Leszek Pawlik,  President<br \/>\n    Coalition of Polish Americans (CPA)<br \/>\n    Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@coalitionpa.org\">info@coalitionpa.org<\/a><br \/><br \/>\n\n    Edward Wojciech Jesman, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Strategic Initiative (PASI)<br \/>\n    Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@joinpasi.org\">info@joinpasi.org<\/a><br \/><br \/>\n\n    Andrzej Prokopczuk, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress of Northern California<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Jerzy Bogdziewicz, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress of Florida<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Wieslaw Wierzbowski, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress of Eastern Massachusetts<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Andrzej Burhardt, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress, New Jersey Division<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Mirek Gorny, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Social Club of San Diego<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Zbigniew Koralewski, VP<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress, Long Island Division NY<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Ann Bankowski, President<br \/>\n    Polish American Congress, Michigan Division<br \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n\n<span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">\n    Drogi Przedstawicielu Kongresu,<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Jako przedstawiciele spo\u0142eczno\u015bci polonijnej chcemy wyrazi\u0107 nasze rozczarowanie sposobem, w jaki kierownictwo Podkomisji Komisji Spraw Zagranicznych Izby Reprezentant\u00f3w ds. Europy, Energii, \u015arodowiska i Cyberprzestrzeni przeprowadzi\u0142o przes\u0142uchanie pt.

Niestety to tradycyjne podej\u015bcie wydaje si\u0119 by\u0107 przesz\u0142o\u015bci\u0105. Spotkanie bylo problematyczne z kilku powodow. Zaproszeni swiadkowie byli czterema liberalnymi burmistrzami, w opozycji do obecnych konserwatywnych rz\u0105d\u00f3w. Podkomisja nie zaprosi\u0142a \u015bwiadk\u00f3w kt\u00f3rzy mogliby przedstawi\u0107 odmienne perspektywy i ustosunkowa\u0107 si\u0119 do krytyki zg\u0142aszanej podczas rozprawy. Sk\u0142adane \u015bwiadectwa by\u0142y jednostronne. Czterech burmistrz\u00f3w przedstawi\u0142o r\u00f3\u017cne oskar\u017cenia przeciwko swoim obecnym rz\u0105dom, kt\u00f3re Podkomisja przyj\u0119\u0142a za dobr\u0105 monet\u0119 i nie pr\u00f3bowa\u0142a zweryfikowa\u0107 ich prawdziwo\u015bci. Zeznania wydawa\u0142y si\u0119 by\u0107 stronnicz\u0105 pr\u00f3b\u0105 zdobycia sympatii politycznej ze strony przyw\u00f3dc\u00f3w Partii Demokratycznej.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Pytania zadawane \u015bwiadkom by\u0142y bezsprzecznie tendencyjne. \u017baden bezstronny widz nie doszed\u0142by do wniosku, \u017ce ich intencj\u0105 jest zapewnienie odbiorcy wywa\u017conej dyskusji na temat problem\u00f3w Europy \u015arodkowej. Zamiast tego pytania przekazywa\u0142y stronnicze przes\u0142anie po czyjej stronie jest racja i po czyjej stronie jest jej brak. Kilka emocjonalnie obci\u0105\u017cajacych wyra\u017ce\u0144, takich jak \u201eodchodzenie od demokracji\u201d i \u201etendencje autorytarne\u201d, kt\u00f3re zosta\u0142y u\u017cyte podczas przes\u0142uchania, zosta\u0142o przedstawionych jako ustalone fakty. Pozostawi\u0142y one odbiorcom wyra\u017anie zniekszta\u0142cony obraz tego co dzieje si\u0119 w Czechach, na W\u0119grzech, w Polsce i na S\u0142owacji. Naszym zdaniem przedstawiony obraz by\u0142 ca\u0142kowicie subiektywny i z\u0142o\u015bliwie zafa\u0142szowany.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    W zwi\u0105zku z tym ubolewamy nad faktem, \u017ce cz\u0142onkowie podkomisji partii, kt\u00f3ra szczyci si\u0119 mianem or\u0119downika sprawiedliwo\u015bci, r\u00f3\u017cnorodno\u015bci i otwarto\u015bci, przeprowadzili przes\u0142uchanie sprzeczne z tymi zasadami. Istnieje ponad 10 milion\u00f3w obywateli USA o polskich korzeniach, a nasza spo\u0142eczno\u015b\u0107 obejmuje szerok\u0105 r\u00f3\u017cnorodno\u015b\u0107 pogl\u0105d\u00f3w politycznych.

To przes\u0142uchanie by\u0142o niesprawiedliwe, pozbawione r\u00f3\u017cnorodno\u015bci perspektyw i wyj\u0105tkowo wykluczaj\u0105ce. Zamiast poprowadzi\u0107 wywa\u017con\u0105 i uczciw\u0105 dyskusj\u0119 na temat problem\u00f3w w tych czterech krajach, Podkomisja zaprezentowa\u0142a wyj\u0105tkowo stronnicze stanowisko, kt\u00f3re nie tylko przeinacza fakty, ale tak\u017ce stanowi jawne oszustwo intelektualne. W szczeg\u00f3lno\u015bci szereg organizacji polonijnych przed rozpraw\u0105 skierowa\u0142o odpowiednie pytania do Podkomisji. \u017badne z nich nie zosta\u0142o podniesione na rozprawie ani nawet nie zosta\u0142o wspomniane. W rezultacie uwa\u017camy \u017ce przes\u0142uchanie zlekcewa\u017cy\u0142o g\u0142osy naszej spo\u0142eczno\u015bci i niepotrzebnie i bezsensownie zdyskryminowa\u0142o wielu polskich Amerykan\u00f3w, kt\u00f3rzy nie podzielaj\u0105 pogl\u0105d\u00f3w wyra\u017conych przez czterech \u201e\u015bwiadk\u00f3w\u201d.<br \/><br \/>\n\n    Fundamentalnym elementem demokracji jest suwerenno\u015b\u0107 spo\u0142ecze\u0144stwa demokratycznego. Dlatego jest rozczarowuj\u0105co ironiczne, \u017ce cz\u0142onkowie podkomisji zbli\u017cyli si\u0119 niepokoj\u0105co blisko do ingerowania w sprawy wewn\u0119trzne czterech kraj\u00f3w Europy \u015arodkowej i naruszania ich suwerenno\u015bci poprzez przedstawianie wypaczonego obrazu ich spraw pa\u0144stwowych.

Sokolowski, Ph.D., is in response to the article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times, June 24, 2021, entitled \u201cIn Germany, Blinken joins initiative to combat Holocaust denial and ignorance.\u201d The Los Angeles Times article is a commentary on the statements made by Mr. Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, at the Berlin Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        The article suggests the need to recognize the wrongs suffered by European Jews, with a particular need to acknowledge the facts surrounding the role of such countries as Austria and Poland in the plight of European Jews during the Second World War. It states: \u201cScholars say Germany has led the way in accepting responsibility for the Holocaust while other countries, such as Austria and Poland, remain more evasive about their roles in the Nazi-ordered genocide.\u201d\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        Indeed, there seems to be an urgent need to recognize the role of Poland and Austria in the history of the II World War. In the case of Poland, shut off from the rest of the world behind the Iron Curtain for over forty years and unable to present its history uncensored by its post-war Soviet oppressors, this need is especially acute. Dr. Sokolowski\u2019s article fills this gap in historical knowledge. Given the sentiments expressed in the Los Angeles Times, it seems to be long overdue.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        Poni\u017cszy list, napisany przez dr G.

I realize your knowledge of what occurred in Poland during World War II is limited, as is the case with most Americans, and I\u2019d like to assist by providing relevant facts.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        The last sentence of your fourth paragraph states: \u201cScholars say Germany has led the way in accepting responsibility for the Holocaust while other countries, such as Austria and Poland, remain more evasive about their roles in the Nazi-ordered genocide.\u201d Outlined below is why this sentence, which asserts that Poland is one of the countries responsible for the Holocaust, is both false and offensive.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        First, consider the definition of \u201cthe Holocaust\u201d. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum defines it as \u201cthe systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies and collaborators.\u201d This means that the Polish state, as it existed during World War II under German and Soviet occupation, was either an ally of Germany or established a collaborationist government controlled by Germany. This was never the case. The Polish state during the war consisted of the Polish government-in-exile in London and the Polish Underground State. The Polish Underground State, together with its military arm, the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), fought the occupying Germans at every turn. No historian has asserted that this Polish state, systematically and at the direction of the occupying Germans, sponsored and engaged in the persecution and murder of Poland\u2019s Jews.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        It is also important to understand which German-allied and German-occupied states persecuted, (i.e., rounded up and interned their Jews in ghettos and transit camps for transport to labor, concentration, and extermination camps), and in some cases, murdered their Jews. The Polish state never established a collaborationist government (as did France\u2019s Petain, Norway\u2019s Quisling, Slovakia\u2019s Tiso, Croatia\u2019s Pavelic, Hungary\u2019s Horthy, and Romania\u2019s Antonescu); never established a militia to round up and deport Jews to the camps or kill them outright (as did Belgium\u2019s Degrelle, Holland\u2019s Mussert, France\u2019s Petain, Norway\u2019s Quisling, Slovakia\u2019s Hlinka Guard, Croatia\u2019s Ustase, Hungary\u2019s Arrow Cross, and Romania\u2019s Iron Guard); and never established SS units to fight under German command (as did Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Latvia, Hungary, Estonia, Italy, France, Holland, Albania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Croatia, and others), which prolonged the war and Hitler\u2019s campaign of racist mass murder. In contrast to the actions of these German-allied and German-occupied states, neither Poles nor the Polish state were elements of Hitler\u2019s mass-murder apparatus and the proposition that Poland \u201cneeds to accept responsibility for the Holocaust\u201d is clearly absurd. Because Poles were also rounded up by the Germans and died in Hitler\u2019s concentration and extermination camps, this proposition is equally offensive. Note that in February 2018, Chancellor Merkel publicly admitted on several occasions that the full responsibility for the Holocaust lies with Germany.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        It is further important to understand why World War II in Europe occurred. Hitler and Stalin initiated the war to divide Europe between them and the secret protocol in their 1939 nonaggression pact prescribed the destruction of the Polish people and annihilation of the Polish state. In the first two years of the war, Poles were the primary target of a coordinated German and Soviet extermination process designed to annihilate them on both sides of the Ribbentrop-Molotov line. Hitler\u2019s racial doctrine dictated that Poles and other Slavs were racially inferior Untermenschen deserving of enslavement and extermination. During the war\u2019s first two years, virtually all of Poland\u2019s Jews were imprisoned in German-operated ghettos. The Germans immediately established Jewish Councils (Judenr\u00e4te), who ceased all contact with Polish authorities and negotiated the conditions of Jewish governance of the ghettos. Within months following Germany\u2019s attack, nearly half of Poland\u2019s Jews lived under Judenrat regimes. The Judenr\u00e4te gathered up Jews from small towns and concentrated them in the ghettos of the larger cities. They further kept ghetto Jews convinced they were being deported to work in German-designated areas in the East. Beginning in early 1942, they directed the Jewish Ghetto Police to forcibly round up ghetto Jews and load them onto the trains destined for the death camps.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        While nearly all of Poland\u2019s Jews were imprisoned in the ghettos, Poles were in a day-to-day struggle for survival because of the brutalities and severe conditions exacted by the occupiers. The Germans imposed near-starvation rations, enforced onerous quotas on farmers, confiscated crops and livestock, conducted daily executions to terrorize the populace, randomly arrested and tortured Poles to extract intelligence on the Polish underground, and conducted recurrent round-ups for deportation to concentration and labor camps. Over two million Poles were sent to the camps while up to 200,000 Polish children were abducted for Germanization under Himmler\u2019s Lebensborn program.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        As evidenced by his Generalplan Ost and Lebensraum program, Hitler did not attack Poland to eradicate Polish Jews. His objective was to annihilate the Poles, take over their land, and settle it with Germans. He began by immediately arresting and murdering up to 100,000 Polish elite, expelling approximately 1.5 million Poles from occupied Polish territory, and resettling ethnic Germans into vacated Polish properties. Stalin\u2019s policy was to annihilate Poland\u2019s elites, destroy Polish societal structure, and Sovietize dispossessed Poles into compliant subjects of Stalin\u2019s totalitarian Communist regime. As the Red Army occupied eastern Poland, up to 1.6 million Poles were deported to the Gulag camps, which resulted in an estimated death rate of 60 percent. Stalin\u2019s barbarity was further evidenced by his Katyn Massacre, a series of executions encompassing 22,000 captured Polish officers. Poland\u2019s population losses during World War II were proportionately the greatest of any nation in the war. Of its prewar 35 million people, Poland lost approximately 6.5 million. An estimated 664,000 were battlefield deaths and the remainder, about 3 million Polish Jews and 2.8 million Poles, were civilians of all ages. Note also that Hitler annexed western Poland to Germany while Stalin annexed eastern Poland to the Soviet Union, which is why Poland ceased to exist as a nation state.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        Often overlooked are Polish efforts to rescue fugitive Jews who hid by not moving into or escaping from the ghettos. Only in Poland did the Germans have a standing order that anyone aiding a Jew in any way would be executed together with immediate family. Despite this death penalty, the largest number by far of any country honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Israel (over 7,000) are Poles, many of whom were killed for aiding Jews. While these are known to Israel\u2019s Yad Vashem, thousands more are known only to God. Estimates of Poles who aided Jews range from 300,000 to 1 million and estimates of those killed for doing so approach 50,000. Note also that German death squads carried out mass executions of entire villages that aided Jews and some of the annihilated villages became extinct. Note further that in no other occupied country or in Germany itself were there such large-scale round-ups, searches with dogs, and blockades of whole districts in all of the larger cities that were conducted by the Germans to find fugitive Jews. Ask yourself, Ms. Wilkinson, if you would risk your life and the lives of your family to save one or more persons in similar circumstances. Many Poles did so because they believed it was the Christian thing to do. Also, two Polish institutions were critically instrumental in rescuing Jews. The first, \u017begota, was the only government organization in the German-occupied countries established to rescue Jews. Estimates of Jews saved by \u017begota range from 30,000 to 60, 000. The second was the Catholic Church, which rescued Jewish children on a massive scale by hiding them in convents, orphanages, and rectories. No German-occupied country had such an organizational infrastructure that aided tens of thousands of Jews.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        Also overlooked are the significant Polish efforts that warned the West about the mass murder of Jews in occupied Poland. Witold Pilecki voluntarily walked into a German round-up for Auschwitz prisoners and then sent reports to the Polish Underground headquarters in Warsaw. These comprised the first record that convinced the Allies the Germans were engaged in murder on an unprecedented scale. Jan Karski was a secret courier who travelled between the Polish government-in-exile in London and the Polish Underground in occupied Poland. He was twice smuggled into the Warsaw Ghetto by Jewish underground leaders to observe the horrifying conditions and also entered the Izbica Lubelska transit camp, where Jews were confined in appalling conditions awaiting transport to the Be\u0142\u017cec and Sobib\u00f3r death camps. Karski carried out of Poland a microfilm with this information and it became one of the earliest and most accurate accounts of the beginning of the Holocaust. He was also the first eyewitness to personally meet with FDR and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and gave a detailed statement on what he had seen, which sadly fell on deaf ears. On December 10, 1942, the Polish government-in-exile published a document titled The Mass Extermination of Jews in German Occupied Poland, which was addressed to the Governments of the United Nations and was the first international publication of Hitler\u2019s mass murders.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        In the case of Austria, I offer the following facts. There had been strong support from Austrians and Germans to unify the two countries. On 12 March 1938, the German Wehrmacht crossed the border into Austria, unopposed by the Austrian military. The Germans were greeted with great enthusiasm and a plebiscite was held on 10 April, which officially ratified Austria\u2019s annexation by Germany, called the \u201cAnschluss\u201d. With the Anschluss, Austria ceased to exist as an independent state. Austrians loyally supported Germany during the early years of the war. The initial German military victories and Austria\u2019s geographic location beyond the reach of Allied bombers shielded the Austrian population from the full impact of the war. Only after the German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad in early 1943, when the course of the war increasingly turned against Germany, did popular support for the war and for the Anschluss begin to erode. Some 800,000 Austrians were drafted into the German army (Wehrmacht) and another 150,000 served in the Waffen SS, an elite military unit that managed the concentration and extermination camps. Because the Austrians were integrated into German units, no Austrian military units were formed. The majority of the bureaucrats who implemented the Final Solution were Austrian. David Art of Tufts University states that 40 per cent of the staff and 75 per cent of commanders at death camps were Austrian. Austrians who played key roles in the Final Solution include Adolf Eichmann and his aide, Alois Brunner; SS General Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Chief of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA); Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Reich Commissioner for Holland; and Odilo Globocnik, who had a leading role in Operation Reinhard. Operation Reinhard organized the murder of around one and a half million mostly Polish Jews at the Treblinka, Sobib\u00f3r, and Be\u0142\u017cec extermination camps. Globocnik was also responsible for the deaths at the Majdanek extermination camp. Austrians also conducted mass murder in Hartheim Castle near Linz, where the killing program Action T4, i.e., involuntary euthanasia, took place, and in Am Spiegelgrund clinic in Vienna, where more than 700 handicapped children were murdered.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"english\">\n        From the above, it should be evident why the sentence in question is not only false but also offensive to Poles and Polish Americans.

Hitler i Stalin rozpocz\u0119li wojn\u0119, by podzieli\u0107 mi\u0119dzy sob\u0105 Europ\u0119, a tajny protok\u00f3\u0142 w ich pakcie o nieagresji, Ribbentrop-Mo\u0142otow, z 1939 r. nakazywa\u0142 zniszczenie narodu polskiego i unicestwienie pa\u0144stwa polskiego. W pierwszych dw\u00f3ch latach wojny Polacy byli g\u0142\u00f3wnym celem skoordynowanego niemiecko-sowieckiego procesu eksterminacji, maj\u0105cego na celu unicestwienie ich po obu stronach linii Ribbentrop-Mo\u0142otow. Doktryna rasowa Hitlera dyktowa\u0142a, \u017ce Polacy i inni S\u0142owianie s\u0105 rasowo gorszymi Untermenschen, i zas\u0142uguj\u0105 na zniewolenie i eksterminacj\u0119. W pierwszych dw\u00f3ch latach wojny praktycznie wszyscy polscy \u017bydzi byli wi\u0119zieni w gettach zarz\u0105dzanych przez Niemc\u00f3w. Niemcy natychmiast utworzyli Rady \u017bydowskie (Judenr\u00e4te), kt\u00f3re zerwa\u0142y wszelkie kontakty z w\u0142adzami polskimi i negocjowa\u0142y warunki \u017cydowskiego zarz\u0105dzania gettami.

Rady \u017bydowskie zbiera\u0142y \u017byd\u00f3w z ma\u0142ych miasteczek i koncentrowa\u0142y ich w gettach wi\u0119kszych miast. Ponadto Rady \u017bydowskie utrzymywa\u0142y \u017byd\u00f3w w gettach w przekonaniu, \u017ce b\u0119d\u0105 deportowani do pracy na wyznaczonych przez Niemc\u00f3w terenach na wschodzie. Od pocz\u0105tku 1942 r., Rady \u017bydowskie nakazywa\u0142y \u017bydowskim Policjom Gett przymusowe \u0142apanie \u017byd\u00f3w i \u0142adowanie ich do poci\u0105g\u00f3w jad\u0105cych do oboz\u00f3w zag\u0142ady.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        Kiedy prawie wszyscy polscy \u017bydzi byli wi\u0119zieni w gettach, Polacy toczyli codzienn\u0105 walk\u0119 o przetrwanie w sytuacji brutalno\u015bci i surowych warunk\u00f3w stworzonych przez okupanta. Niemcy ustanowili g\u0142odowe racje \u017cywno\u015bciowe, narzucili rolnikom uci\u0105\u017cliwe dostawy, konfiskowali plony i zwierz\u0119ta gospodarskie, dokonywali codziennych egzekucji w celu terroryzowania ludno\u015bci, losowo aresztowali i torturowali Polak\u00f3w w celu wydobycia informacji o polskim podziemiu, przeprowadzali powtarzaj\u0105ce si\u0119 \u0142apanki na deportacje do oboz\u00f3w koncentracyjnych i pracy. Do oboz\u00f3w wywieziono ponad dwa miliony Polak\u00f3w, a w ramach programu Himmlera Lebensborn uprowadzono nawet 200 000 polskich dzieci w celu germanizacji.\n    <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        Jak dowodz\u0105 programy Generalplan Ost i Lebensraum, Hitler nie zaatakowa\u0142 Polski w celu usuni\u0119cia polskich \u017byd\u00f3w. Jego celem by\u0142o unicestwienie Polak\u00f3w, przej\u0119cie ich ziemi i zasiedlenie jej Niemcami. Zacz\u0105\u0142 od natychmiastowego aresztowania i zamordowania do 100 tysi\u0119cy polskich elit, wyp\u0119dzenia oko\u0142o 1,5 miliona Polak\u00f3w z okupowanych ziem polskich i przesiedlenia etnicznych Niemc\u00f3w na zwolnione polskie posiad\u0142o\u015bci. Polityka Stalina polega\u0142a na unicestwieniu polskich elit, zniszczeniu polskiej struktury spo\u0142ecznej i sowietyzacji wyw\u0142aszczonych Polak\u00f3w tak aby uczyni\u0107 z nich uleg\u0142ych poddanych totalitarnego re\u017cimu komunistycznego. Gdy Armia Czerwona zaj\u0119\u0142a wschodni\u0105 Polsk\u0119, do gu\u0142ag\u00f3w deportowano oko\u0142o 1,6 miliona Polak\u00f3w, co poskutkowa\u0142o \u015bmiertelno\u015bci\u0105 ocenian\u0105 na poziomie 60 procent. Barbarzy\u0144stwo Stalina zosta\u0142o dodatkowo potwierdzone przez zbrodni\u0119 katy\u0144sk\u0105, czyli seri\u0119 egzekucji obejmuj\u0105cych 22 000 wzi\u0119tych do niewoli polskich oficer\u00f3w.

Z przedwojennej populacji 35 milion\u00f3w, Polska straci\u0142a oko\u0142o 6,5 miliona.

Istnia\u0142o silne poparcie Austriak\u00f3w i Niemc\u00f3w dla zjednoczenia obu kraj\u00f3w. 12 marca 1938 r. niemiecki Wehrmacht przekroczy\u0142 granic\u0119 z Austri\u0105, bez sprzeciwu austriackiego wojska. Niemc\u00f3w powitano z wielkim entuzjazmem i 10 kwietnia odby\u0142 si\u0119 plebiscyt, kt\u00f3ry oficjalnie ratyfikowa\u0142 aneksj\u0119 Austrii przez Niemcy, zwan\u0105 \u201eAnschluss\u201d. Wraz z Anschlussem Austria przesta\u0142a istnie\u0107 jako niezale\u017cne pa\u0144stwo. Austriacy lojalnie wspierali Niemcy w pierwszych latach wojny. Pocz\u0105tkowe niemieckie zwyci\u0119stwa militarne i po\u0142o\u017cenie geograficzne Austrii poza zasi\u0119giem alianckich bombowc\u00f3w uchroni\u0142y ludno\u015b\u0107 austriack\u0105 przed pe\u0142nymi skutkami wojny. Dopiero po kl\u0119sce Niemiec w bitwie pod Stalingradem na pocz\u0105tku 1943 r., kiedy tok wojny coraz bardziej zwraca\u0142 si\u0119 przeciwko Niemcom, powszechne poparcie dla wojny i Anschlussu zacz\u0119\u0142o s\u0142abn\u0105\u0107.

Poniewa\u017c Austriacy bylii zintegrowan\u0105 cz\u0119\u015bci\u0105 jednostek niemieckich, nie tworzono austriackich jednostek wojskowych.

As is, Senate Resolution 566 strips Polish citizens &#8211; most of them Prisoners-of-War murdered by Soviet Russia in 1940 &#8211; of their citizenship and falsely merges them with a vaguely defined mass of political crimes committed by the Communists worldwide.<\/span><span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">Podczas gdy PASI popiera ide\u0119 rezolucji upami\u0119tniaj\u0105cej 22 000 ofiar ludob\u00f3jstwa katy\u0144skiego, PASI zdecydowanie sprzeciwia si\u0119 konkretnym fragmentom proponowanej rezolucji. W obecnej formie, rezolucja Senatu nr 566 pozbawia obywateli polskich \u2013 w wi\u0119kszo\u015bci je\u0144com wojennym zamordowanym przez Rosj\u0119 Sowieck\u0105 w 1940 r. \u2013 obywatelstwa i fa\u0142szywie \u0142\u0105czy ich z niejasno okre\u015blon\u0105 mas\u0105 zbrodni politycznych pope\u0142nianych przez komunist\u00f3w na ca\u0142ym \u015bwiecie.<\/span>\n\n<span class=\"english\">The present version of the resolution resembles an attempt at Genocide Denial rather than an accurate characterization of the nature of the horrific mass murders confirmed by the 952 Report of the US Rep. Ray J. Madden Commission.<\/span><span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">Obecna wersja rezolucji przypomina raczej pr\u00f3b\u0119 negacji ludob\u00f3jstwa ni\u017c dok\u0142adn\u0105 charakterystyk\u0119 natury przera\u017caj\u0105cych masowych morderstw potwierdzonych przez Raport 952 Komisji Reprezentanta USA Raya J. Maddena.<\/span>\n\n<span class=\"english\">The proposed text of the resolution is not only historically erroneous, but it also creates specific political and legal consequences, which prejudice and disaffirm the rights of thousands of Polish families to the legal inquests and proper compensation.<\/span><span class=\"polish\" style=\"display: none;\">Zaproponowany tekst uchwa\u0142y jest nie tylko b\u0142\u0119dny historycznie, ale rodzi te\u017c okre\u015blone konsekwencje polityczne i prawne, kt\u00f3re naruszaj\u0105 i neguj\u0105 prawa tysi\u0119cy polskich rodzin do dochodze\u0144 prawnych i odpowiedniego zado\u015b\u0107uczynienia.<\/span>\n\n<span class=\"english\">\nDespite the 80 years which have passed, the world is still waiting for the official Genocide recognition by the US government of the brutal mass murders and deportations of millions of Polish citizens.

restricts the meaning of the World War II-era Genocide only to the extermination of Jews. The Act fails to acknowledge the Genocide committed against millions of Poles. H.R. 943 encroaches onto the rights of the states by authorizing the creation of one-sided and partial curricular materials to be used in all 50 states. Federal intervention into curricular matters is against the Constitution.<\/span><span class=\"polish\" style=\"display:none\">PASI Congressional Capitol Hill Outreach \u2013 Uczestnicy odwiedzaj\u0105 ponad 400 biur Kongresu, w tym 100 biur Senatu USA, aby om\u00f3wi\u0107 konsekwencje Ustawy S. 447 \u201eJUST Act\u201d oraz HR 943 \u201eAkt Edukacyjny Nigdy Wi\u0119cej\u201d.
