Prosecutor to examine if Gross committed "slander"

English

The public prosecutor's office will be reading the Polish translation of Jan Gross's "Fear" in order to determine if Gross has "slandered the Polish nation". The book is due to appear in the bookshops at the end of the week. In the summer of 2006, a group of nationalist parliamentarians demanded that Gross be prosecuted. According to them, talking about antisemitism and crimes committed in postwar pograms "slander" Poles. The crime carries a sentence of up to 3 years in prison.

There is a parallel between this case and writers in Turkey who wish to examine the Armenian genocide. Perhaps a longer article examining the distinction between racism or ethnic prejudice and such historic investigations would be interesting.
