Commemorations for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day which took place on Sunday. However, instead of focusing on the victims and survivors, we turn our attention to the nationalist and anti-Semitic slogans that were chanted. Out of all places, in front the gates of Auschwitz. Leading the demonstration was an individual well-known to the police and the prosecutor's office. On the anniversary of the camp's liberation, he shouted about "Jewish invaders", about Poland regaining its dignity and finally, "Poland for Poles". With a megaphone in hand, not confronted by anybody, he sowed hatered as he's done many times before. Is this really the image that Poland wants to project around the world, on a day when the eyes of the world were watching?
