Zur aktuellen Lage in Polen empfehle ich einen Artikel<\/a> des Guardian:
\n…come with me on a tour through the magical world of the evening News programme on Polish state television (TVP).<\/i><\/p>\n

We start on Sunday 14 June. The first item marks the 80th anniversary of the first deportation of Poles to Auschwitz in 1940. This is indeed a moment worthy of the most solemn remembrance. Too many people around the world forget that innocent and sometimes heroic Poles were the first prisoners in Auschwitz. But in the entire news item, lasting more than four minutes, the words \u2018Jewish victims\u2019 do not appear once. Instead, the head of the Institute of National Remembrance tells viewers: \u201cThat was the purpose of Auschwitz \u2013 that there would never be an independent Poland; to murder it.\u201d No other groups of victims are mentioned until the footage of a memorial ceremony in Berlin, where the Polish ambassador to Germany says that from the moment of the creation of Auschwitz „we talk of the Holocaust“.<\/i><\/p>\n

Man fasst es nicht. Zum Gl\u00fcck gibt es das Internet, um sich zu informieren… Einer der seltenen Momente, f\u00fcr die so genannten „\u00f6ffentlich-rechtlichen Anstalten“ in Deutschland dankbar zu sein. (Gut, wenn es um die Ukraine geht, gibt sich das Gef\u00fchl sehr schnell wieder.)<\/p>\n
