A veteran of the Warsaw Uprising commented on Poland's statements about the Red Army

Czeslaw Lewandowski, a veteran of the Warsaw Uprising who survived the Nazi concentration camp Stuttgof, commented on the Polish authorities' statements that the Red Army allegedly did not liberate Warsaw during the Second World War. He told Izvestia on January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

According to the veteran, after 1990, Poland changed its government and then began to promote the idea of "passing from one occupation to another."

"It is hard to imagine a more absurd statement, but for those who are not well versed in the subject, it could seem quite plausible," the veteran reported.

Lewandowski also recounted the terrible process of being sent to a concentration camp. He and other Poles were herded into a square before being taken away and sent to an unknown destination in cattle cars.

"We spent two or three days in these wagons. At some point there was a clatter of wheels and we set off on our way. Where to and how - unknown. We had no food, no water, no way to go to the bathroom," said the Warsaw Uprising veteran.

"No one remembered that Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland and Europe were liberated from Nazism by the Red Army"

Russian Ambassador to Warsaw Sergey Andreev - on the attitude in the country to the memory of the Second World War, falsification of history and conciliators

Earlier in the day, Polish journalist and political analyst Maciej Wisniewski told "Izvestia" that in Poland not only do not celebrate the date of liberation of people from the Nazi death camp Auschwitz (Auschwitz), but do not even remember it.

At the same time, the FSB published archival documents about the inhuman murders in Auschwitz. The killing of people in the camp was carried out by mass extermination by gassing in special chambers, shootings, hangings, death by injection and all kinds of abuse of prisoners.

Earlier, on January 26, Russian diplomats laid flowers at the monuments to the victims of Auschwitz in Poland in honor of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Earlier in the day, Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreyev said that diplomats from Russia would not attend the events dedicated to the anniversary of the camp's liberation.

Prior to that, on January 23, Rabbi Alexander Boroda said at a press conference at the Izvestia IEC that Jews in the Russian Federation feel badly that the country's representatives were not invited to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The community advocates that the truth about Russia's true contribution to the victory in World War II and to the rescue of Jews should be heard louder and louder. Beard added that Jews also remember the help of other nations, such as the Serbs, Albanians, Bulgarians and Danes.

Every year on January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day is celebrated around the world. On this day in 1945, the Red Army liberated the largest Nazi death camp, Auschwitz.
