Among those protesting Greniuch’s appointment at the IPN was the Israeli Embassy in Warsaw.
“We were surprised to learn that the new director of the IPN branch in Wroclaw, Mr. Tomasz Greniuch, sees nothing wrong in using the Nazi salute,” the embassy said in a statement. “In Poland, a country which suffered so much under Nazi occupation, there should be no place for Nazi symbols.”
Rafal Pankowski director of the NEVER AGAIN Association, a Polish anti-racist NGO told
The Algemeiner on Thursday that Greniuch “has been on our organization’s radar for years.”
Pankowski pointed to a book published by Greniuch in 2013 in which he confirmed that he had used the moniker “100%Aryan” as his online name.
