As a Pole raised and living in Manitoba I am deeply saddened that our press @wpgfreepress has not made sure proper language is being used with such historical implications.
Dear @WinnipegNews, @PaulSamyn, @jdl562000, while I appreciate your attempt to correct the language it is still wrong and deeply hurtful. Not only the phrase distorts history but also implies there was a concentration camp on the Polish territory in 2018. #Poland with its dramatic history (about 6 million Poles, incl. 3 million Polish Jews, murdered in #WW2) stands strong for human rights. #Auschwitz for many decades is a State Museum and Memorial dedicated to the preservation of history. It stands strong against #Holocaust denial, which has been well addressed in your article.
Polish community in #Canada @CanPolCongress, Polish community in #Manitoba @KpkManitoba & Polish Embassy in #Ottawa @PLinCanada request your urgent reaction to the mistake. It would be much appreciated!
On behalf of the Polish Congress Manitoba Branch - I as the president also request a retraction and an apology for the incorrect statement found @winnipegfree
The correct term is German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945). Auschwitz Birkenau was a death camp in German Nazi-occupied Poland. Please correct this offensive sentence ASAP @WinnipegNews. @AuschwitzMuseum
