Nazi Posters in Germany
Wednesday, May 30, 2012
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: President Barack Obama is under growing pressure to apologise to Poland after the country's prime minister publicly rebuked him for making reference to "Polish death camps" in the Second World War.
Mr Obama made the diplomatic gaffe during a ceremony at the White House, honouring a Polish resistance hero who was among the first to warn the Allies of the systematic slaughter in the Nazi concentration camps.
In an extraordinary reprimand from a European leader to an American president, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Mr Obama said "offended all Poles" with his words.
"When someone says 'Polish death camps,' it is as if there were no Nazis, no German responsibility, as if there were no Hitler," Mr Tusk said.
"We cannot accept such words even if they are spoken by the leader of a friendly power ... since we expect diligence, care, and respect from our friends on issues of such importance as World War II remembrance."
Mr Tusk rejected a statement of regret by Tommy Vietor, the White House National Security Council spokesman, insisting on a "stronger reaction" from Mr Obama himself. » | Raf Sanchez, Washington and Matthew Day in Warsaw | Wednesday, May 30, 2012
