ISRAELI politicians are accusing Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of anti-Semitism, ever since the Polish government adopted a new law concerning the Holocaust, which had involved Jewish perpetrators as well as Polish perpetrators. This new law has banned any statements concerning the Holocaust.

The Israeli politicians’ accusations are merely an attempt to conceal the role played by Jewish prisoners in Nazi camps. It is a known fact of Holocaust history that some Jewish prisoners were put in charge of their fellow Jewish prisoners in the Nazi camps by the SS. These Jews who willingly cooperated and collaborated with the SS were called ‘Kapos’. Actually, these Kapos are mentioned as ‘Jewish perpetrators’, in this new law.

The Israeli politicians’ accusations of anti-Semitism against the Polish government is unfounded and another attempt to continue to project the Jews as the worst sufferers for more than 70 years after World War II ended.
