You are correct, this statement from the White House makes it worse! It's one thing to mis-speak and another to mis-state history. Kind of make you look STUPID!
"These camps may have been run by the Nazis, but the Polish Government did nothing to stop them."
The Government of the Republic of Poland in Exile, was the government in exile of Poland formed in the aftermath of the Invasion of Poland of September 1939, and the subsequent occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which brought to an end the Second Polish Republic founded in 1918.
You know Barry, it's difficult to stop the Death Camps when your government was forced to leave the country. So one question, since your government is still in the USA, what's your excuse for the mess we are facing?
