A Holocaust survivor takes part in the 78th anniversary of liberation of Nazi German Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Oswiecim, Poland Jan 27, 2023.WARSAW — A political video by Poland's ruling nationalist party that uses images of Nazi Germany's Auschwitz death camp is an insult to those who lost their lives there, the museum that preserves the site said on Wednesday .
It refers to a tweet from prominent government critic and former Polish Newsweek editor Tomasz Lis, who said that "a chamber" would be found for PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally. Lis apologised for the tweet after criticism of his reference to a "chamber" — given that Jews were killed in gas chambers at Auschwitz — but said his words were misinterpreted and he meant to write "a cell".The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial, set up on the site of the death camp established in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War Two, condemned the video.
"It is a sad, painful and unacceptable manifestation of the moral and intellectual corruption of the public debate."
