I don't speak the language. What does the word "Auschwitz" mean?

[lizol]

It' just a German name of the town, equivalent of Polish name "Oswiecim".

Like English name "Warsaw" or German "Warschau" is the equivalent of Polish "Warszawa".

This makes me sick. It's the same as Revisionists who say that the Holocaust either didn't happen or wasn't as bad as everyone thought. Poland just wants to wash away the guilty conscience they feel over the fact that over 3 million of their ancestors were murdered while the majority of the population stood by turning a blind eye. Well, there were 5 other death camps set up in Poland under Aktion Reinhardt, not just Auschwitz-Birkenau. So when can we expect name changes for Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibor, Kulmhof, and Madjanek?

This makes me sick.

It makes me sick too, that Poland was left alone to fight both the Nazis and Soviets. Who was such a coward? GB and France. Who stood by and watch what is going one in Europe, especially in Poland? USA and influential American Jews.

There were numerous reports from AK about what is going one here, one of which was from the very Auschwitz. The intelligence was made by a Polish AK-member, who "volunteered" to go to Auschwitz.

So, who the f*** are you to write sth like this? :

while the majority of the population stood by turning a blind eye.
