The best-known case occurred in May 2012, when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-18264036\">Obama spoke of \"Polish death camps\" to refer to the extermination camps created by the Nazis in Poland<\/a>, which provoked outrage in this country. In May 2017 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2017\/05\/30\/una-organizacion-polaca-demanda-al-diario-el-pais-por-culpar-a-polonia-del-holocausto\/\">the Polish Anti-Defamation League sued the Spanish newspaper El Pa\u00eds for blaming Poland for the Holocaust<\/a>. That newspaper accused Poland of \"victim and executioner\" and endorsed the lies launched by the Stalinist propaganda after the Second World War to discredit the Poles.<\/p>\n<p><big>Complaints from the Embassy of Poland to the newspaper Abc and Cadena SER<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Regrettably, whether intentionally or not, the attribution to Poland of the Nazi extermination camps has continued to appear in some Spanish media. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PLenEspana\/status\/936600671679340544\">On December 1, the Polish Embassy in Madrid sent a complaint to the newspaper Abc<\/a> about a story published the previous day in which the expression \"Polish concentration camp\" was used in reference to Auschwitz. <strong>The newspaper Abc corrected the error<\/strong>, suppressing the word \"Polish\". <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PLenEspana\/status\/939087283646496768\">Today the Embassy has once again issued a complaint, this time addressed to the Cadena SER<\/a>, following <a href=\"http:\/\/cadenaser.com\/ser\/2017\/11\/30\/cultura\/1512054946_430383.html\">a news item on November 30 in which they cite Auschwitz as a \"Polish extermination camp\"<\/a>. At the moment, the Grupo PRISA's station has not corrected this error.<\/p>\n<p><big>The struggle of the Poles to save the Jews from extermination<\/big><\/p>\n<p>These attributions are especially unfair if we take into account that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2016\/05\/07\/contra-la-difamacion-algunos-datos-sobre-la-actitud-de-los-polacos-ante-el-holocausto\/\">the Poles were the European people who fought the most and took the highest risk to save the Jews from extermination<\/a>. The Polish Armia Krajowa was the only resistance organization of the Second World War that created a section especially aimed at helping the Jews: the \u017begota. <strong>Poland was the only country occupied by Germans in which helping Jews was condemned with the immediate execution of all the residents of a house<\/strong>, both adults and children, brutal punishments that began to be imposed at the very beginning of the war. Despite this, <strong>1.2 million Poles participated in actions to hide or rescue Jews, 450,000 Poles hid Jews in their homes and in 300 villages the Poles managed to save all their Hebrew neighbors.<\/strong> Many Poles were executed for it. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anexo:Justos_entre_las_Naciones_por_pa%C3%ADs\">the Poles are the most numerous national group among the Righteous among the Nations<\/a> declared by Israel. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2016\/01\/28\/pilecki-el-hombre-que-desvelo-el-holocausto-y-acabo-siendo-ejecutado-por-los-comunistas\/\">It was precisely an officer of the Polish resistance, Witold Pilecki, who unveiled the Holocaust<\/a> after infiltrating Auschwitz and staying there almost a thousand days. To this we must add a fact that many forget: <strong>2.7 million Polish Catholics were killed by the Nazis,<\/strong> but outside Poland almost nobody talks about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Embassy of Poland has filed complaints, through Twitter, to two Spanish media for attributing to that country the extermination camps created by the German Nazis in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10720],"tags":[9369,106,6868,2489,110,100,10370,9560,10389],"class_list":["post-35346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-communication","tag-zegota","tag-abc","tag-armia-krajowa","tag-auschwitz","tag-cadena-ser","tag-el-pais","tag-poland","tag-witold-pilecki","tag-world-war-ii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
