there is a problem at the moment between russia and poland, and israel and poland on the questions of historical memory. poland passed a law which made it a criminal offense to accuse poles of being g perpetrators of the holocaust. that really soured relations between israel and poland. on top of that there is a dispute between russia and poland about polish anti-semitism, and whether poland was a victim or a perpetrator. the historical record is clear that poland wasn't occupied territory. there have been recent attempts by putin to revive this historical record to some extent, and that has brought strong reaction from poland against russia. one of the consequences of this is the polish president is not at this event and not speaking at this event. you can understand why he did it. had he gone he would not have been the opportunity -- would not have been given the opportunity to speak, because the world holocaust foundation, i think it is called -- a forum. i'm sorry. world holocaust forum. they made it clear they are going to invite the perpetrator, that is to say nazi germany, and
