A U.S. historian has threatened to publicly reveal alleged Polish atrocities against Jews in the aftermath of World War II, if the Polish State Prosecution tries him for “insulting the nation.”
The Polish State Prosecution said last week that it would consider pressing charges against historian Jan Tomasz Gross for “insulting the nation” in his book “Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz.”
In his book, Gross covers the Kielce pogrom and other instances of post-war violence perpetrated by Poles against Jews. A Polish translation of the book came out last week sparking the current row.
“If they will take me to court, I will bring witnesses, Jews and Poles, to say exactly what happened [in Poland] after the war,” Gross said Monday by phone. “It will be a big scandal.”

Good! He should!
yeh do it my grandma told me enough of what went on… and those Poles talk today like they were victims who always helped the Jews
I hope he tears them apart
what scandal? is polish anti semitism a secret? is the AK a secret? get real!
1) Wouldn’t this be akin to revealing that the sun is hot? This isn’t really a chiddush. Why not talk about the crimes commited by them in the past few months? I’m sure you could fill a book with them.
2) This man is a sicko. If he really cared so much about the truth or the Jewish people he wouldn’t use this type of information as blackmail. Hes just another idiot gunning for press time
THE Poles were the Nazis wiling executioners of the Jews.
I dont know why he needs an excuse to expose thos animals for what they are just go out and tell it the way it is
