Andrea Mitchell appologized for error on WWII history

American journalist Andrea Mitchell apologized for her words that a World War II uprising by Jews in the Warsaw ghetto was against “the Polish and Nazi regime.” Mitchell made a mistake during her interview with US Vice-President Mike Pence at a conference in Warsaw.


"I misspoke on the show yesterday when I discussed the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. To be clear, the Polish government was not involved in these horrific acts. I apologize for the unfortunate inaccuracy," Mitchell tweeted on Thursday.


Earlier the Polish embassy in Washington  corrected Mitchell in a tweet saying that “the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a heroic act against the German Nazis who established the ghetto and carried out the Holocaust.”
