European Commission material on the victims of the Holocaust. The Auschwitz Museum responds

The Auschwitz Museum responded to the material published by the European Commission on the occasion of the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.

In a short excerpt published on the profile of . In the film, EU commissioners speak the names and surnames of the victims murdered in Auschwitz. The problem is the subtitles in the recording.

Auschwitz Museum: In occupied Poland

“The Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp was located in the occupied part of Poland, which was directly annexed to Nazi Germany in October 1939. It is therefore correct to say that the camp was located in occupied Poland,” we read on the profile of the Auschwitz Museum on website X (formerly Twitter).

There is no information in the material about the occupation of Poland by Germany. The captions in the video did not contain the basic information that the Auschwitz camp was located in the area annexed by Nazi Germany and under German occupation. The captions can be misleading because they suggest that the Polish state was in some way responsible for the operation of the German death camp.

EU commissioners under forged signatures

In the recording we see 18 of the 27 EC commissioners. Some of them also appear under signatures that contain manipulated information.

Polish Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski did not take part in the action. As a person close to him told RMF24, Wojciechowski did not participate in the recording because of the signatures.
