A continuation of the ongoing slanders perpetuated against Poland, applied in conjunction with what appears to be an apologetic or loose attempt at justification for the craven behavior of the German people in, and prior to, World War Two. This is utterly shameful in my view, considering — among many other important facts — that an enormous and vibrant Jewish population was famously welcomed and nurtured in Poland for over a thousand years. Incidentally, the Bielski Partisans were Polish Jews, responsible for almost 400 confirmed enemy kills.
That being said, such a magazine illustration, much less a cover illustration, is inappropriate and provocative. Not that I would recoil from provoking those historically abusive nation-states to the West, and to the East, of Poland. It just seems like bad form to publish such an illustration.
in this case, I, unfortunately, agree with them -- the portrayal of AK as anti-semitic against the "good Germans" is highly provocative.
