“IT MAKES me angry — the memory loss sweeping across <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>,” Maciej Tuszkiewicz, <st1:metricconverter w:st="on" ProductID="86, a">86, a</st1:metricconverter> veteran of the partisan Polish Home Army, said. “For <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region>, it was not victory. The Nazis occupied <st1:country-region w:st="on">Poland</st1:country-region> for five years, the Soviets occupied <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region> for forty-five years.” <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
She added: “<st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region> invaded western <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1939. The <st1:country-region w:st="on">USSR</st1:country-region> invaded eastern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1939. Why did <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Britain</st1:country-region></st1:place> forget that? <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
“When the Russians came to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Poland</st1:country-region></st1:place> towards the end of the war, they were telling us that they were liberators. But you know what they did? They hunted down Polish partisan leaders and put a bullet in the back of their heads. I saw my comrades hanging from trees. These were Polish war heroes who fought against Hitler in alliance with <st1:country-region w:st="on">Britain</st1:country-region> . . . my comrades were hanged by Russian liberators, Russian killers, who planned to control <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region> after the war. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Now is the time for a Russian apology, not a Russian victory parade. Putin should not be going back to the days of Stalin. He should say sorry and look forward, like the Germans do. <o:p></o:p>

“In May 1945 there was cheering in the streets of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City>. In <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region>, there were tears. We finally had our victory in 1989 when we kicked the Russians out.”<o:p></o:p>
