Exhibition:

Does Not Serve Polish Memory Policy", "Treason to the Polish Cause". Kosiniak-Kamysz and PiS Politicians Critically Assess the "Our Boys

Michał Lubowicki

- The exhibition at the Museum of Gdańsk, "Our Boys," concerning residents of Pomerania who served in the III Reich army, does not serve Polish memory policy. Our boys, soldiers and civilians, Poles, defended the Homeland against Nazi Germany to the last drop of blood. They are the heroes, and it is they who deserve places in exhibitions - wrote Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on the X portal. - These kinds of exhibitions are an attempt to falsify history. "Our boys" defended Poland and died from German shells, they did not put on Wehrmacht or SS uniforms. This is not just a poorly organized exhibition – it is a political provocation and further proof that the "guardians of memory" under the banner of the December 13 Coalition are implementing a German historical agenda. Such narratives are dangerous: they destroy Polish memory and blur responsibility for the crimes of World War II - we read in the post by the head of the PiS parliamentary club Mariusz Błaszczak. - Perhaps some boys of Dulkiewicz and her colleagues served Hitler, but ours did not! This is an unprecedented level of idiocy and treason to the Polish cause. The title of this exhibition is disgusting, misleading, and outrageous. Why don't you also organize an exhibition called "Our Boys in the NKVD. The Fates of Residents of the First Republic in the USSR" - wrote PiS MEP Tobiasz Bocheński.
