Polish diplomacy announced today that it was protesting the Israeli media of The Times of Israel because it called the “Holocaust reviewer” the newly elected Polish president, nationalist Carol Navrotski.

Historian Navrotsky, a candidate for the PIS nationalist party, received 50.89% of the vote against 49.11% of European Rafal Transkovsky in the second round of Sunday’s presidential election.

On Monday, the newspaper The Times of Israel used the term “Holocaust Reviewer” in its article title for Navrotsky’s victory, accusing him of making this revisionism “part of his election campaign”.

In a letter sent to the Israeli media, the Polish Embassy in Tel Aviv states: “We ask that this term is not used, we protest him,” said a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the pro -European Polish government. “We recognize the author’s right to make a crisis, but this crisis, with the use of precisely of this (specific) term, causes very dangerous correlations – especially in Poland,” Pavel Bronzki stressed, according to the Polish News Agency.

The Times of Israel has particularly condemned Navrotsky’s criticism of historians who are investigating the participation of Poles in crimes against Jews during World War II.

Seeking electoral support from supporters of a small party with supranationalist, anti -Ukrainian and anti -Semitic views, Navrotsky assured according to the party’s website that he intended to continue “to defend the good name of Poland and Poles against all the Poles.

Barbara Engeling, chairman of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum Council, Jan Grabowski of the University of Ottawa and American historian Jan Thomas Gros had been accused in Poland for defamation of the Polish nation.

Holder in History, Navrotsky served as director of the Museum of World War II in Gdansk from 2017 to 2021.

Since 2021, he is the head of the National Memory Institute (IPN), which is investigating Nazi and Communist crimes.
