Allgaeuer Zeitung mentioned Auschwitz as “Polish” Concentration Camp

The newspaper, discussing the story of Enegelbert M., wrote that he was one of the last prisoners who was tattooed with a camp number on his shoulder in the “Polish” Auschwitz concentration camp.

Requests for correction

A press spokesman for the Polish embassy in Berlin, Dariusz Pawłoś, told Polish Radio that a letter was sent to the editor of the Allgaeuer Zeitung in Kemtpen immediately to request a correction.

“Words such as “Polish concentration camps” or “Polish death camps” or “concentration camps in Poland” are not only offensive to Poles and Polish citizens who suffered and died in these camps, but also to their families and the whole Polish society” – said Dariusz Pawłoś.
