Polish perspective on the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of WW2
08.11.2019
Polish Ambassador Zbigniew Gniatkowski provides a Polish perspective on the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War in the latest issue of New Zealand International Review.
"The war that began at daybreak on 1 September 1939 with the German Third Reich's invasion of the Republic of Poland was the most barbaric and genocidal conflict in the history of the world. It is unparalleled not only for the scale of death and destruction but also for the complete breakdown of all moral and ethical norms. Memory of this great tragedy - one of the most traumatic periods in Poland's history - unites generations and reflects the respect for the sacrifice of our forebears. Its consequences still exert a major impact on the Polish nation. Eighty years on, Poland is a special guardian of memory about these events."
