ISRAEL NIXES YOUTH TRIPS TO POLAND OVER HOLOCAUST EDUCATION SPAT


YAIR LAPID SAYS WARSAW WANTED TO ‘DICTATE’ WHAT STUDENTS ON HERITAGE TRIPS COULD
BE TAUGHT; SENIOR POLISH OFFICIAL SAYS CURRENT FORMAT ENCOURAGES ‘FALSE
STEREOTYPES’

Israel has canceled educational trips to Poland for thousands of high school
students this summer, claiming the Polish government is trying to control the
Holocaust studies curriculum taught to Israeli children, the Israeli foreign
minister said.

The announcement by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid reignited longstanding tensions
between the two countries over Poland’s treatment of its Jewish citizens during
the Holocaust.

In his comments, Lapid said Poland has barred Israeli delegations from learning
about the role of Polish citizens in collaborating with Nazis during the
Holocaust.



“They wanted to dictate what was allowed and what wasn’t allowed to be taught to
Israeli children who go to Poland and that we cannot agree with,” he told a news
conference on Wednesday.

Poland was the first country invaded and occupied by Adolf Hitler’s regime and
never had a collaborationist government. Members of Poland’s resistance and
government-in-exile struggled to warn the world about the mass killing of Jews,
and thousands of Poles risked their lives to help Jews.

However, Holocaust researchers have collected ample evidence of Polish villagers
who murdered Jews fleeing the Nazis, or Polish blackmailers who preyed on
helpless Jews for financial gain. Six million Jews, including nearly all of
Poland’s roughly 3 million Jews, were killed by the Nazis and their
collaborators during the Holocaust, and major Nazi death camps were in Poland.

These dueling narratives have been a source of great tension between Israel and
Poland, which otherwise have strong relations.

party at the Knesset, on June 13, 2022. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90)

Lapid referred to a Polish bill, passed in 2018, that penalizes anyone who
blames Poles as a nation for the World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany
in occupied Poland. At the time, Israel and the United States slammed the law,
saying it hindered free speech.

On Wednesday, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski posted on Twitter
that “the current formula of organized trips of Israeli youth to Poland requires
changes due to systematic problems leading to the strengthening of false
stereotypes, which negatively impacts Polish-Israeli relations.”

Jablonski also said that Poland doesn’t wish to halt Israeli student trips but,
rather, to give them a different formula that will improve on Polish-Israeli
ties.

Israel’s Education Ministry had announced the cancellations earlier this week
but gave no explanation for its decision.

Young Israelis traditionally travel to Poland in the summer between 11th and
12th grade to tour former Nazi camps in order to learn about the Holocaust and
memorialize those murdered. The trip has long been considered a milestone in
Israeli education and, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, some 40,000 Israeli
students participated each year. About 7,000 were registered to go this summer,
according to the Education Ministry.

Parents who already paid for trips will be refunded, the ministry told the
National Parents Council, according to Channel 12 news. However, because each
school booked the trip with different airlines and agencies, it’s not clear
whether all will actually get the thousands shelled out for the trip back, the
report said.

2020. (Czarek Sokolowski/AP)

Ties between Poland and Israel have been gradually fraying in recent years over
the matter. In 2021, Israel protested a Polish law seen as banning claims for
restitution of some seized property by Holocaust victims.

At the time, Poland recalled its ambassador to Israel, while Israel’s ambassador
to Poland was also recalled. Jablonski, the deputy foreign minister, also
threatened to cancel the annual school Holocaust memorial trips. Ties have since
improved in the wake of Israel-Polish cooperation on the Ukrainian refugee
crisis.

Lapid, whose late father was a Holocaust survivor, thanked Poland for its help
in rescuing Jewish refugees from Ukraine but said the high school delegations
could not continue under the current circumstances.
