Old graves at the Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe, on October 22, 2017 in Warsaw, Poland
Following the interview with Krzysztof Bielawski conducted by Matt Lebovic and published by The Times of Israel on March 5, 2021, I would like, as the Deputy Minister of Culture, National Heritage and Sport of the Republic of Poland in charge of, inter alia, the remembrance policy, to take the opportunity to comment on the statements raised in the interview.

Representatives of the Polish Association of the Righteous Among the Nations pay tribute in front of a monument dedicated to the victims of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, we, sons and grandsons of survivors, write to protest the falsification of history being perpetrated in our name at the projected Museum of the Warsaw Ghetto, due to open in 2023 for the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
The Museum’s published mission is “To disseminate knowledge about the life, struggle and extermination of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and in other ghettos in German-occupied Poland.” But the museum proposes simply to abandon the true story of the ghetto in midstream.
