Cassiopeia responded to the descriptions that she is "exalted," pointing out that for years she has been engaged in a debate on platform X with key Israeli politicians. She wrote that in an interview for tvn24, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke about the involvement of Poles in the murder and handing over of Jews and about members of his family — his mother and two children — who were said to have been killed by Polish teenagers in Łuków near Siedlce in November 1944 after five years of fleeing from the Germans. Bennett also reportedly spoke about around 200,000 similar families. Cassiopeia stated that she checked the history of the Łuków county. According to her, on 4 and 7 September 1939, the bombing of Łuków killed about 260 Poles and Jews, and on 18 September 1939, the Wehrmacht, in retaliation for alleged shots fired at a German car, executed 34 people in Narutowicz Square and on the streets, and set houses on fire. She also wrote that on 5 October 1940, in Serokomla and Hordzieża, the Wehrmacht and SS executed 28 farmers from Serokomla and 4 Polish soldiers. She described the pacification that took place on 14 April 1940, conducted in retaliation for the alleged murder of the German settler Adolf Käsner's family. The SS, Gestapo from Radzyń and Lublin, and Selbstschutz, including local German colonists, were said to have gathered the residents of Józefów, Bronisławów, Zakęp, Serokomla, Hordzieża, Bielany, Rudy, Wólka, and other villages. According to Cassiopeia, about 215 Poles, including women and children, were executed, and 27 farms were burned. Cassiopeia attributed the extermination of Jews in Łuków county in 1942-43 to the Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary formations. She stated that during the operation from 5-8 October 1942, the gendarmerie, the 101st Reserve Police Battalion, Ukrainians, Latvians, and Lithuanians surrounded the ghetto, and about 4,000 to 5,000 people were gathered at the marketplace on Międzyrzecka Street. About 500 people were said to have died on the spot, including patients from the hospital; children were thrown from the floors onto the pavement, and the rest were taken to Treblinka. She also mentioned the executions in Malcanów on 7 November 1942, including 80-200 children under 5-6 years old, and the execution of 500-600 Jews in December 1942 "to reduce employment." According to her entry, on 2 May 1943, the ghetto in Łuków was liquidated, part of the buildings were set on fire, and 2,000-3,000 people were taken to Treblinka; those hiding were shot for weeks afterward. Cassiopeia also described the liquidation of the ghetto in Stoczek Łukowski on 12 September 1942, where about 3,500 people were to be involved in the action, and about 200 were murdered in the march to Parysów. In Serokomla on 22 September 1942, according to her, about 200-300 Jews were shot at the gravel pit; on 15 October in Krzywda, about 150-240 people died, in the fall of 1942 in Okrzeja about 90-113, on 10 October in Grochówka about 70, and on 28 December in Wola Okrzejska 36, mostly women and children. She added that Jews from Adamów, Wojcieszków, Tuchowicz, Gułów, Stanin, Ulan, and other places were driven to Łuków or shot on the spot, especially the elderly, sick, and those hiding. Among the executions of Poles for helping the AK and NSZ and hiding Jews from 1942-1944, she mentioned the killing of 24 people, including small children, in Budziska and Krzówka on 22 September 1942; 29 people, including 9 children aged from 2 months to 14 years, in Gręzówka on 28 December 1942; and 38 people, including 8 children, in Lędza Wielka on 5 February 1943. She also pointed out crimes in Oszczepalin, Rola, Wojcieszków, Feliksin, Wola Kisielska, Jamielnik, and other places where from a few to several people were dying. She wrote that on 24 July 1944, the Germans bombed Łuków for a week during their retreat, destroying the town center, Cieszkowizna, and Glinki, burning a large part of the city and causing the death of over 200 Poles. She stated that in the materials she cited, she found no information about "Polish teenagers" mentioned by Bennett. In the end, Cassiopeia wrote that although — as she assessed — half of Poland does not feel obliged to support her school, she hopes that at least some people will appreciate her work as a history teacher, which she has been doing for a decade. https://t.co/uYX0ELCMFj #Historia #Polska #Holokaust (translated)

"Do you remember July of last year when they explained to us 'double connotations'? All those connotations spilled into the street into just one connotation, which is called Adolf Hitler. This is not the past – it is happening now in Croatia," Kekin said at the press conference. #govormržnje #Hrvatska #ustaštvo (translated)

The Warsaw Police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, which took place on Friday, October 16. According to the police, the footage came from the body camera of one of the officers and showed the course of the event. The police stated that the detained man was initially passive and actively resisted, did not follow commands, refused to provide his personal information or show identification, and then attempted to flee into a building. According to their report, during the arrest he violated the bodily integrity of a policewoman who suffered injuries, received medical assistance, and was taken to the hospital. The police also assessed that the people present in the building hindered the intervention, did not maintain the required distance, and increased the sense of threat. They explained that the publication of the recording was meant to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the course of the event, in connection with the emerging reports and comments which, they claimed, could serve to spread misinformation. #policja #Warszawa #interwencja (translated)
