Black Ribbon Day is a day of memorial deliberately designed to promote double-genocide theory and obfuscate the #Holocaust. Everyone should encourage East #European democracies to oppose the far right's attempts to distort #history.

Leader of #PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, endorses #Spain's Far-Right #VOX party.

"I would like to ask you to support Vox, a party that strives for a safe and strong Spain. Together we will change Europe for the better."

#PiS is a Far-Right party which has gutted #Poland's judicial system and engages in #HolocaustObfuscation.

5 days ago was the #commemoration of the 1941 #Jedwabne pogrom. #Polish nationalists on Twitter cite long debunked false leads to blame the massacre on the #Germans. #IPN only located munitions that would place the Germans at the scene in 1942. Rest are from ww1-weaponry. (Mostly Russian.)

I hope after the #NATO summit that the plaque glorifying #Holocaust perpetrator J. #Noreika remains taken down. Delegates should pressure #Vilnius to stop engaging in Double Genocide theory and #HolocaustObfuscation.

Bit older, but #Russia accusing #Israel of abandoning #Holocaust memory is hilarious given their long history of Holocaust and ww2 obfuscation / distortion.

It's nice that the U.S. State Department recognizes the rehabilitation of #Holocaust perpetrators by East European states is bad. But can they start actively opposing #HolocaustObfuscation? Like condemning the reburial of Juozas Brazaitis, the failure to the Lithuanian government to properly censure Valdas Rakutis in 2021, or the appointment of Arunas Bubnys as director of the GRRCL?

Yad Vashem criticizes deal between #Israel and #Poland which decides locations visited by #Israeli Schools.
« [trips must maintain] complete historical accuracy, including the role of Poles in the persecution, handing in, and murder of Jews during the #Holocaust, as well as in acts of rescue. The recent agreement to renew educational visits to Poland does not appear to dictate or limit their operation in this respect. »
