Egads as if Jews dont have enough bad press these days without clowns like this drawing more hate for them.

It might be news to these ethnocentric bigots, but alot of Polish Catholics died in the 'Holocaust' too, because Hitler wanted to decapitate Polands leadership.

Unless of course, you care to claim that the Catholics slaughtered dont count somehow.

Catholics have every right to mourn their own that the Nazis killed, and that church was taken over by the SS probably by force or threat of force.

The church is not in the habit of renting its buildings out to the state for use in these sorts of things.

Good greif.

You see, I was really hoping, that we - I mean Poles and Jews - had left all this far away behind us.

In early 90's there was a big argument about a Catholic convent, that was located in a building located within or just next to Auschwitz camp area. There were also many Jewish demostrations against it at that time and the convent was finally removed

Later on, some Jewish organizations recognized, that a cross, that was located outside the area of the former death camp (but pretty close to its fence) to commemorate Poles, who were shot in that site is to tall and is visible from the camp area. And again - they demanded that cross to be removed, because: “the presence of the cross at Auschwitz is totally inappropriate since one million Jews were murdered there by the Nazis because they were Jews. We demand that the church decamp the cross immediately. The presence of the cross only perpetuates the strong feeling that the Catholic church is making a deliberate effort to Christianize sites and symbols of the Holocaust. The Polish government, which administers the Auschwitz site, has the power to remove the cross.”.

We are very patient and conciliatory people so the cross was also removed - after some disturbances and demostrations of people defending it.

And now again the same song. I'm just affraid, that patience may have some limits.

And - what astonishes me - each time Rabbi Avi Weiss shows up in such occasions.
