Re: "Poland Offers Apology 60 Years late"

Dear Ms. Roiphe:

The title for the article "Poland Offers Apology 60 Years late" is very misleading for readers of The New York Observer.
Poland did not exist on July 10, 1941 and was no Polish law and rules there.
Do you really believe what Gross wrote true story? Mr. Gross is Polish -Jew whose parents had to leave Poland after 1968 together with others ( According to the Jewish publicist Ambraham Brumberg . Polish Communist Regime forced to leave 30.000.00 Jews after 1968) Do you know who were these Jews and why communists forced them to leave?
In your article you have pointed , history, church , Kielce, Michnik, etc. However , somehow you forgot about these 30.000.00.
Most of them landed on American soil and I am wondering how it is happen, that USA, the country where communism is prohibited gave shelter for high rank communist's aparatchicks for the only reason, because they were Jews. Gross story looks like a vendetta for 1968. Why his parents and other Jews who had to leave Poland after 1968 were silent about Jedwabne until now. Please, don't take me wrong .

I believe that Jews were murdered in Jedwabne. However, I still don't know how it is happen and who is responsible for this terrible and horrifying massacre. It wasn't proven in any court. I am man of principles and court should decide who committed this murder and how it is happen. Mr. Gross's book is a lynch and nothing to do with law.
I would like to hear how Mr. Gross and witnesses would be testified in open court. Does not matter if it would be Israeli court or Republic of Poland court. I guess that you remember the Ivan the Terrible case, the auto worker from Detroit. I guess that you also remember how Israeli's court ruled in Demjaniuk's case.

I agree with you that Kwasniewski's apology was stupid and irresponsible as well offensive to most of Poles in and out of Poland.
