Poland’s fury over Holocaust remarks

Poland is to summon the US ambassador in Warsaw over an article written by a top US intelligence official on Poland’s alleged responsibility for the Holocaust in World War Two, a foreign ministry spokesman says.

The article by FBI director James Comey, published in the Washington Post last week, prompted an outcry in Poland and drew condemnation in the media and from politicians.

A Polish foreign ministry spokesman said the US ambassador would be summoned to the ministry over the article, and Poland would demand an apology.
