The museum of the former Nazi camp Auschwitz strongly condemned Polish radical nationalists and anti-vaccinationists for appearing last night at a protest against vaccination against the corona virus with a paraphrase of the cynical Nazi slogan from the gates of the concentration camps, "Vaccination sets you free".
"The inscription 'Work sets you free' is one of the icons of human hatred, this museum reminded. The instrumentalization of the symbol of the suffering of the victims of the Auschwitz camp, the largest cemetery in Poland and the world, is a scandalous expression of moral degradation. It is especially shameful when Polish MPs do it," he responded to The museum of the largest death camp built by the German Nazis in the south of the occupied country during World War II is on Twitter.
Deputies of the marginal radical nationalist party Confederation, together with Polish anti-vaxxers, protested last night in front of the Sejm against what they called "sanitary segregation" and proposed changes to the law that will allow Polish employers to check whether their workers have been vaccinated or have a negative PCR test for covid. -19.
The banner with the inscription "Vaccination liberates" graphically copies the inscription on the main gate of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, in the south of Poland, in whose gas chambers but also due to the inhumane conditions in the camp, at least 1,1 million people were killed and suffered, mostly Jews but also Roma. , Poles, Soviet prisoners of war and members of other European nations.
Along with that banner, the MPs carried another "Nuremberg 2.0", as a threat to the authorities who are promoting vaccinations and adopting sanitary measures due to the pandemic, that one day they will be tried for crimes against humanity like fascist and Nazi criminals after the Nuremberg war.
In Poland, new stricter sanitary measures came into force today, according to which discotheques and clubs are closed except on New Year's Eve, and museums, cinemas and catering facilities will be able to fill not 50 percent, as before, but 30 percent of the capacity of halls, restaurants, cafes, while in public transport is allowed to fill 75 percent of capacity.
The last 24 hours brought a record number of deaths from covid-19 in the autumn wave of the pandemic, when over 660 people died, mostly unvaccinated, which is the highest since April, and over 24.000 new infections were detected in tests, government spokesman Piotr Miller told Polish Radio Zet today.
