Calling the original Shamir statement "unjust" even in the standards of 1989, Schudrich said that to repeat them in 2019 is "even more unjust today." Noting that Poland under occupation did not collaborate with the Germans as, for example, France, the Netherlands and Denmark, he goes on to point out that in the group of those recognized as Righteous Among the Nations for aiding Jews in WW2 Poles are the largest group and that to repeat the statement "offends the righteous." "It also offends those who today want to see in them [the Righteous] the true representation of Polish society," he said, "it also offends us Polish Jews who are a part of that society." The letter is co-signed by Head of the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland Monika Krawczyk.The letter was Tweeted by Polish ambassador in Israel Marel Magierowski."Accusing all Poles of anti-semitism [...] also offends us, Polish Jews". https://t.co/QoG0V8O2Rw
