Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is now trying to make it clear he’s not a Holocaust revisionist.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is attempting to make amends after delivering a controversial statement on Saturday that suggested “Jewish perpetrators” bore some responsibility for the Holocaust.
Morawiecki is now trying to make it clear that he is not a Holocaust revisionist, according to The Washington Post.

Morawiecki’s tweets came after a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had labeled Morawiecki’s original statement “outrageous.”
