Poland has been a staunch ally of America since the Revolutionary War, She is the longest standing ally of the USA.
The White Eagle flies long and proud.
You are equating the holocaust with 9-11 ????
"You all need to study a little history. The Americans never reached Poland, so the facts you all made up can't be true."
Welcome to this world.
They should apologize. The Canucks think they're so intellectually superior and don't even realize what a horrible gaff they made.
I was obviosly wrong to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I made a comment that was basically asking a question, I was already corrected....If you read the posts, you wouldn't have needed to post your opinion.
Uh, no...and my replies do not say that.
don't ever be wrong again....
Well your comment was as good as the canadian one, you wrote "if it's in Poland, it must be Polish"...
and I wasn't the only one that was "moved" with some comments here...

Locals didn't do anything? Geez, I'm speachless. They were in the camps as well, doc. They were tortured by gestapo, deportated, killed on the streets for no reason, they were f...g occupied. But they had sent a messenger, Jan Karski to the US and he reproted about the death camps and its locations. Of course the allies decided not to do anything about this just like during the Warsaw Uprising '44.
Why is that Poland suffered so much during the war and even now it must fight with the common opinion it participated ub extermination of Jews during the war? It's the biggest b/s I can imagine...
Above was a reply to Zavien Doombringer not SpikeMike :)
Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army in January of 1945.
American troops never made it as far as Poland (hence the Warsaw Pact - Iron curtain,,,, you know, the Cold War. Ring a Bell?)
Auschwitz was a GERMAN run, concentration camp in GERMAN occupied Poland
The Poles have a right to be sore about the CTV representation.
Maybe if the majority of the inmates was Jewish it should be named "Jewish camp"? Makes sense.
BTW, at that time Auschwitz was part of the German territory - border of occupied Poland (Generalgouvernement Polen) was further to the east.
