Poland summons US ambassador

Poland summoned US Ambassador in Warsaw Stephen Mull over an article by FBI's head James Comey, in which he wrote that Poland was Germany's accomplice in the Holocaust. The article was published in the Washington Post last week and caused an uproar in Polish media and among politicians. Comey's article implied that Poland was responsible for the Holocaust: "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." The US ambassador to Poland said in a statement that the remarks were "unacceptable" and that he had sent a letter to the FBI's head "protesting the falsification of history, especially ... accusing Poles of perpetuating crimes which not only they did not commit, but which they themselves were victims of." After a meeting with deputy Foreign Minister Leszek Soczewica on Sunday afternoon, Stephen Mull said that he "will act to correct this misunderstanding and will get in touch with Washington and the FBI office."
