Open Your Eyes
The Polish Government, and for that matter the Polish public's reaction to this exhibit depresses me. To protest the inclusion of materials on the forced transfer of scores of Germans from what is now western Poland is not to minimize the suffering of those peoples whose members were displaced en masse, but rather goes to illustrate that often victims, when given the upper hand, do not always act with magnanimity. I feel that rather this is an especially important reminder that victor's justice is often unjust. Yes, Poland was a victim of WWII and the Cold War. However, it should not forget that even its past is not morally clean.
