(AFP) Poland's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich on Wednesday criticized plans by the government to honor a group of ultra-nationalist underground fighters accused of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. He said he felt "insulted" by an invitation from the Polish veterans' affairs office to a ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the creation of the Swietokrzyska Brigade, to be held under the auspices of President Andrzej Duda. The Swietokrzyska Brigade was part of the National Armed Forces (NSZ) underground group. The brigade refused to join the Home Army (AK), the main Polish underground resistance that was allied with Poland's government in exile in London. "These (NSZ) anti-communists, they killed Germans, Russians and they killed Jews" who were Polish citizens, Schudrich told AFP. "There are so many other Polish heroes, we don't need to choose the ones who actually killed other Poles, and in this case, many of them of the Jewish religion," Schudrich said, dubbing the ceremonies "dangerous" historical revisionism. 2019-08-09 00:00:00Full Article
