Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, a famous Polish writer, journalist, diplomat, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, as well as a moral authority for many Poles, died on April 24 this year in Warsaw. During World War II, Bartoszewski participated in the rescue of Polish Jews from the SS and Gestapo.
Speaking at the writer’s funeral, the former Israeli ambassador to Poland Shevah Weiss noted: “Nowadays, a person like Bartoszewski, who is capable of establishing a dialogue with Russia, will especially be missed. This is very important now, because without the Soviet Union, the world would look completely different now. If the Soviet Union had not sacrificed so many people, it is unlikely that Poles would now have returned to their Polish identity,” Weiss said.
Weiss added: “The Red Army liberated my family. If I were the Polish authorities, I would participate in the parade on May 9th in Moscow in honor of the Victory over the Third Reich.”
Weiss called the transfer of Victory celebrations in Poland from the 9th to the 8th an example of “anti-Russian policy.”
