Warsaw ‘tolerating far-right groups,’ says Holocaust survivor

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.
