speaking of poles

05/31/12 10:13

Poles are understandably upset at President Obama for calling Nazi concentration camps "Polish death camps" - and at the most inappropriate time, while awarding a posthumous Medal of Freedom to Polish war hero Jan Karski.

But the presidential mistake may turn out to be beneficial. For decades, the terms "Polish death camps" or "Polish concentration camps" have appeared periodically in print, written by benighted reporters and passed over by unthinking copy editors (back when there were copy editors). And indignant Poles would always write letters explaining that, though these camps were located in Poland, it was an occupied Poland, and the camps, like the country, were run by Nazis. Sometimes the letter writers would talk of family members who died in the camps.

But the letters, if published, got little attention, and the hurtful mistake kept getting repeated. Obama, unwittingly, has now made it news, so that the next time a lazy reporter types "Polish" before "death camps" maybe he or she will think of our president and change the first word to "Nazi."

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.

Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

Thank you!
