Issues Statement Condemning
FBI Director James Comey’s Comments
The Polish American Congress – Wisconsin Division issued a statement condemning the recent comments made by FBI Director James Comey. Last week, Comey made comments suggesting Poles were accomplices in the Holocaust. Anyone who knows the history of World War II would never make such a statement. Comey showed not only his lack of judgment, but also his ignorance as to what happened in German occupied Poland during 1939-1945.
Poland has been one of the staunchest allies of the United States throughout our history. Poland is also a member of NATO. Poland does not deserve Comey’s uneducated commentary about the Holocaust that saw six million Polish citizens killed.
The Polish American Congress – Wisconsin Division stands not only with the Republic of Poland in condemning Comey’s remarks, but also with people throughout the world who are interested in learning and informing others of the truth of the extermination of innocent peoples during the Holocaust.
The remarks made by Director Comey deserve strong condemnation. They also require not only a sincere apology, but a commitment to learn the lessons of history that accurately portray Poland’s commitment to freedom, tolerance, and friendship. The best way for Director Comey to show his sincere remorse is to resign.
Let it always be remembered and taught that Poland never capitulated nor collaborated with the German occupation of its homeland.
Let this never be forgotten: The people of Poland – all its people – were the victims of the most cruel and merciless totalitarian aggression in World War II. Let no one ever forget this.
Sincerely,
Mark Pienkos, President
