And what is Polish Auschwitz business
As is known, "Crisis team", created in the office of the President of Poland A. Dudy for refuting the theses of B. Putin in Jerusalem, there was nothing to do. And what can you "refute", when the Russian president says: “The Holocaust is the purposeful destruction of people. But we must remember, that the Nazis were preparing the same fate for many others [except Jews] peoples: Russians were also declared "subhuman", and Belarusians, and Ukrainians, Poles… [highlighted by me. – AND. W.]…»
true, Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki managed to insert his twenty kopecks into the lessons of the "crisis team", wrote, that summer 1944 year, the Red Army stopped the offensive and delayed the liberation of Auschwitz "for six months ..." giving the Germans time to withdraw and organize death marches until January 1945 of the year…".
Can, of course, as Moravetsky, do not understand history, but to have an idea of the intensity of the armed struggle during the Great Patriotic War and World War II. The blockade of Leningrad was lifted only a year after the defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad, six months after the Kursk Bulge. For operation "Bagration" to liberate Belarus, Soviet troops were preparing for more than six months, being not far from Vitebsk and Minsk ... However, then, what is clear to Israeli and Belarusian old people, inaccessible to the "Warsaw Napoleons".
And the historical truth hits the Auschwitz business hardest, which took shape in Poland and where today they are trying to gather "at Auschwitz" not only political, but also money capital.
The director of the memorial museum in Auschwitz, Peter Tsivilny, recently spoke negatively about the organization of the World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem. Last year the Civilian spoke: "People, world security decision makers, understand perfectly: on this day you only need to be here [in Poland]!»
Why is it "only here"?
here, what the chairman of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia says (ФЕОР) Alexander Boroda: “Now the director of Auschwitz ... opposed the forum in Jerusalem. It kind of undermines the annual ritual event in Auschwitz ... I think, that the tradition to come to Poland on the occasion of the Holocaust Remembrance Day is a wrong practice. State leaders ... come to Poland and thereby give the status, honor, legitimization of, how the leadership of Poland and the Poles behaved during the Second World War towards the Jews ... ”However, this is politics. And there is also money.
Here is an important statement by Ilya Altman, co-chairman of the Russian Holocaust Foundation, quoted by the publication EADaily:
“I have repeatedly made proposals to Israeli partners, working with students from families of repatriates from the Soviet Union, – let's think about the trips of children and parents to the places of the Holocaust in the former USSR. Here, not in death camps, almost half of all Jews in Europe were killed» [highlighted by me. – AND. W.] However, there are no responses to such proposals.. And you can guess why.
Annual visits of many thousands to Auschwitz for the museum management, the city hall and the government of Poland have become a profitable and familiar business on the tragedy of millions of people. A special calculation in Auschwitz is made for tourists from Israel - above all, schoolchildren with parents and youth. This tourist flow in Poland and Israel is called "Holocaust tourism", He writes EADaily. In Krakow, at 40 kilometers from Auschwitz, tourists are sold yellow stars of David as souvenirs - a full souvenir copy of the patches, which Jews were required to wear in ghettos and concentration camps. on the eve 27 January in Auschwitz the daily rent of apartments and rooms sharply increases, which are usually cheap in the city. Many residents of Auschwitz earn as apartment rentals through "Holocaust tourism" ...
But what really frightens Andrzej Dudu and other Polish politicians is, which may well get a sequel and what the Israeli edition has already written about The Times of Israel: "Among dozens of world leaders in Jerusalem, Putin has become the dominant figure".
