History does not become irrelevant simply because time has passed.
What has struck me over the years is not merely the disagreement over Volhynia, but the weight, or absence of historical memory. When Poles ask for acknowledgment of the genocide committed against Polish civilians by the OUN-UPA, the response from some is often, “It’s the past. Move on.”
Yet those same voices may continue to defend or excuse the honoring of organizations and individuals connected to those crimes, support battalions or institutions named after controversial nationalist figures, or redirect the conversation by pointing only to the crimes of others.
That is not reconciliation. Reconciliation requires a willingness to confront one’s own history as honestly as one expects others to confront theirs.
Remembering the victims of Volhynia is not hostility toward Ukrainians. Poland has demonstrated extraordinary solidarity with the Ukrainian people in recent years. But compassion for today’s civilians does not require silence about yesterday’s victims.
The dead deserve more than being told their suffering belongs only to the past. They deserve truth, remembrance, and the moral clarity to say that the murder of civilians should never be celebrated, excused, or transformed into national mythology, regardless of who committed it.
History is not a weapon. It is a responsibility.
Jan Karski, part of the Polish underground, even snuck into the ghetto and risked his life to leave occupied Poland, met with Roosevelt, who only wanted to talk about horses.
Supreme court justice Frankfurter who happened to be Jewish called him a liar; he said Mr. Karski, a man like me talking to a man like you has to be completely honest. So I have to say: I can't believe you.
He was not the only one who tried to inform the world, this includes the Polish government in exile who continued to inform the world - they were ignored.
No one believed the Poles including many international Jews, yet Poles who did the most for Jews, yet sadly many Jews today say no one did anything for them and worse they defame them instead of honoring them.
I saw a post from a Rabbi that stated Jews were killed with glee by the Poles. Sadly many Jews are taught false history.
It’s a terrible shame and an insult to the Polish.
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing new rules that would cut federal student loan borrowing limits for graduate students in nursing and other healthcare programs.
On June 24, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled for eight professional groups, including the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the PA Education Association. These groups challenged the rule before its July 1 start date.
The Department of Education issued the rule on May 1 to follow changes in the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It ended a program that let students borrow the full cost of attendance and set new limits under another program. Professional degrees such as medicine and law could borrow up to $50,000 a year and $200,000 total. Other graduate programs faced caps of $20,500 per year and $100,000 overall. The rule narrowed the definition of professional degrees to 11 specific fields.
Judge Howell decided Congress had used the existing definition of professional degrees in the law, so the department could not narrow it. She ruled the change violated the Administrative Procedure Act and set the rule aside. However, she did not block the new loan caps passed by Congress. Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward welcomed the decision, saying it aids students in fields like nursing, public health, education, and marriage and family therapy.

New Yorkers linked the rise of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and progressive candidates to housing costs and a desire for change, a day after three Mamdani-endorsed candidates defeated establishment rivals in New York Democratic primaries https://t.co/CenSvSq0D9
Trump Says Starmer ‘Not Winston Churchill’ Regarding Lack of Support for US in Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump on June 22 criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s lack of support for the United States in its conflict with Iran, saying he was no “Winston Churchill.”
Andy Burnham's return to parliament has made the former Greater Manchester mayor the frontrunner to succeed Keir Starmer as prime minister, and with him comes 'Manchesterism,' his vision for Britain. Here's what we know about his economic model https://t.co/HCL3FBa3lJ
Operation Barbarossa was the clash of two totalitarian regimes that had previously acted together.
85 years ago, on 22 June 1941, Germany attacked the Soviet Union. Former allies became deadly enemies.
Before the invasion, Hitler and Stalin had cooperated closely. Under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Germany and the USSR invaded and partitioned Poland in 1939.
The cooperation did not end there. The Soviet Union supplied the Third Reich with oil, grain and manganese ore, while Germany shared military technology, aircraft and naval equipment.
Russia’s present-day WW2 narrative often focuses only on the “Great Patriotic War” of 1941-1945. It omits what came before: the Hitler-Stalin alliance, the partition of Poland and the German-Soviet collaboration before 22 June 1941.
For Poland, Barbarossa was not the beginning of the war. It was the moment when the two totalitarian occupiers of the Polish lands turned against each other.
Neither the triumph of Hitler nor the triumph of Stalin was in the real interest of the Republic of Poland.
