I agree, and I know it was the Nazi, not modern-day Poland that committed those atrocious crimes.

Hey, hey, hey. Come on now...Germany wasn't the ones who started WWII, it was one man. It wasn't a nation, it was one group of twisted souls. They just said Polish concentration camp because it is in POLAND. Its a location, not the nationality.

hmmm...Im not totally sure wether or not thats a good thing yet...

Yea I understand your point of view on this situation - but your government didn't received a lot of stupid e-mails and false TV statements claiming that actually poles were responsible for massacre in Auschwitz. Every normally thinking human been knows that it was nazi concentration camp but unfortunately not all of them. That’s wy we wanted to change Auschwitz name. If it was only about the location (Poland) the whole problem would not even exist.

BTW - my sentence about Germany was only a response to Ollie (in my opinion rude) post. I've never blamed Germany as a whole nation for starting WWII.

Rob Henderson · July 19th, 2006

Changing the name of the nation is close enough to blaming the nation. Though I know what you mean.

I wouldnt listen to the false ads and emails...Auschwitz is part of history...We shouldnt try to rename it just because a few nutjobs think the Poles were responsible for crimes the Nazis ADMITTED to committing. We should stand proud and say that we learned from the past and want to honor those who died in that horrible event by not bowing down to the wishes of a couple of people, but by keeping the name, no matter what.

WTF!?!?!

Why did Poland need the permission of the United Nations to change the name of a Former Nazi Death Camp in their own territory.

I would think that since it is now in Poland, Poland can do what ever the hell they want with it. If they want to blow it up and build a theme park on top of the ashes of it. Go right ahead.

What gives the UN the right to say yes or no?

Rob Henderson · July 19th, 2006

The UN just felt the need to look like they were doing something half-way important, so they said that they were the ones who gave Poland permission to change the name.
