Letter addressed to Mr. James Comey,
James ComeyDirector of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20535-0001
Dear Mr Comey,
On the 15th of April, 2015, in the speech delivered at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, you used words which were false and painful to the Polish nation.
Your statement was later made public via The Washington Post. This historically false information has been read by millions of people around the world and presented Poland in a very negative light.
It is unfortunate that a high ranking official would use false information and, in the process, distort history as well as imply that the Polish people and Nazi Germany were equally responsible for the crimes committed.
For clarification, you stated: “In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn´t do something evil. They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do.".
In the same speech, you also announced that every new FBI officer will be required to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. However, before you send your subordinates to the museum, may we suggest that that you start with yourself.
In the same speech, you also announced that every new FBI officer will be required to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. However, before you send your subordinates to the museum, may we suggest that that you start with yourself.
We are therefore sending you a ticket with a guided tour to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, as well as a book detailing Nazi crimes committed in our country. We hope that it will give you a better understanding of the history of Poland and will prevent you from spreading such false information again. Your words were very offensive to the Polish nation and to the victims of the Holocaust.
In conclusion, we were not the "murderers' partners", but also ourselves victims of the occupation we could not withstand. We also ask for you to right this wrong done to the
people of Poland and use care when researching your speeches in the future.
Sincerely,
RMF FM
