HOLOCAUST survivor Magdalena Wyszynska accused the Polish government  at the weekend of tolerating far-right groups.

The 96-year-old Lvov Ghetto survivor told a rally in Gdansk, where far-right groups held a convention last weekend, that government leaders were “more concerned about broadening their electorate than our security.”

Gdansk Mayor Pawel Adamowicz, who organised Saturday’s 1,500-strong rally, said it was a "shame" that many Poles haven't learned from history and don uniforms of nationalist and fascist organisations that sowed hatred before and during World War II.

Hidden camera footage recently shown on Poland's TVN24 showed uniformed neonazis celebrating Hitler's birthday in south-western Poland, which passed without comment from the authorities.

Ms Wyszynska said the government was giving "silent consent" to the All-Poland Youth and National Radical Camp groups which promote ideas that ought to be banned.

These groups marked Poland’s Independence Day last year by organising a march replete with nationalist and racist slogans.
