Poland has summoned the US ambassador in Warsaw on an article written by a US intelligence officials allegedly responsible for Poland's Holocaust during the Second World War, the foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday.
Article by FBI Director James Comey, published in the Washington Post earlier this week, prompting anger in Poland and drew criticism in the media and from politicians.
A spokesman for the foreign ministry said on his Twitter account that the US ambassador will be summoned to the ministry for the article, and that Poland will demand an apology.
Comey said in the article: "In their minds, the killers and the foot of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places do not do something evil They convince themselves it was the right thing to do, it. things they should do. "
Polish saying this section incorrectly implied it was involved in the Nazi genocide of European Jews.
Polish Ambassador to the United States said in a statement that the statement was "unacceptable", adding that he had sent a letter to Comey "protest against falsification of history, especially ... accused Poland not only perpetuate crimes they did not commit, but that they themselves become a victim. "
Shortly after the announcement of Poland, Warsaw US Ambassador Stephen Mull told reporters he would attend a meeting at the Foreign Ministry on Sunday afternoon.
"The suggestion that Poland, or any other country apart from Nazi Germany is responsible for the Holocaust wrong, dangerous and offensive," he added, speaking in Polish.
"I think that the broader message Comey is that there are many people in the world who assisted Nazi criminals, or there are people who do not respond sufficiently, ... also in the United States."
Poland is one of Europe's closest ally the United States, and bilateral relations have been strengthened by the conflict in Ukraine, and tension associated with Russia. Polish politicians have repeatedly called for increased US military presence in the region.
