(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 29 - ''I would like to reassure my Jewish and
Israeli colleagues that our law regarding Shoah is not aimed at
limiting historical research. It's not a matter of denying the
complicity of some Polish citizens in the Holocaust. The matter
is telling the truth, fighting against historical distortions'',
said Polish Deputy Foreign Minister, Marek Magierowski, speaking
at a conference on anti-Semitism at the Farnesina (Italy's
Foreign Ministry).
''The Polish nation cannot be held responsible for the Shoah -
he added -, since the German invaders were those who brought
this calamity to the Jews who lived in central Europe. We will
never forget your suffering but it is also an obligation for us
to defend our good reputation''. (ANSA).
