Once again we would like to share with you our successes, which we manage to achieve thanks to our daily struggles. Of course, our work is important, but above all we want to express our gratitude for your support, which is irreplaceable in our activities.
As you know, every day the Documentation and Analysis Department of the Polish League Against Defamation undertakes numerous activities to detect content containing false historical phrases. Through an in-depth analysis of each submission, we identify texts that require intervention, since countering disinformation and eliminating false information is one of the primary goals of our activities. We are committed to maintaining accuracy in the presentation of Poland’s World War II history.
For this reason, we would like to periodically confirm, with concrete examples, that our activities bear fruit, and false wording is removed or effectively corrected.

The Nazi extermination camps were located on Polish territory, so due to cursory descriptions in historical studies, mental abbreviations or character limitations, many formulations, especially in foreign articles, are inaccurate, giving the opportunity to portray Poland as the perpetrator of the Holocaust. This is why the measures we are taking are so important, as we need to correct this type of rhetoric quickly and efficiently!
We are committed to ensuring that any phrases that may suggest that Poland bore any responsibility for the creation of concentration camps, extermination camps or death camps that were located on our lands are promptly removed, modified and clarified, both to eliminate them from the public space, but above all to spread true history, so that the memory of what the actions of Nazi Germany brought to the world is not hypocritical and carries a true picture of reality.
Each of our successes leads to the elimination of such false expressions, straightening out errors and countering disinformation. Our role is to take care of the truth and to reliably convey what the annihilation of the population in the Polish lands occupied, by the German Third Reich, brought. We cannot allow the world to recognize, located on the territory of the Republic, the camps as Polish or organized with its consent. Our mission is to correct any such entries that could give the image that the Polish Nation gave its consent to the genocide carried out during World War II.
