		The publication of the Wildstein list, which is almost 50 pages long, is now expected to increase pressure on the Polish state to open up its communist-era secret police archives.
		"If someone talks of a secret service list then he's responsible for those whom the institute has recognized as 'victims', but also for those who as party officials or secret service members are not on the list," he said.

		The exhumations were conducted at the behest of the Polish National Remembrance Institute (IPN) as part of an effort to learn exactly what happened when the Jews were burned alive in a barn in Jedwabne by their Polish neighbours.
		Instead of apology, a demand is heard that the Jews should apologize to the Polish nation for the crimes committed against Poles during the communist terror.
		It was not a unique Polish phenomenon, and yet the Poles are single-handedly marked for disdain as if they were the only country in Europe where anti-semitism flourished outside of Germany itself.

		The National Polish American - Jewish American Council Expresses Sorrow and Disappointment with Regards to the Recent Statement made by Edward Moskal, President of the Polish American Congress on the Jedwabne Massacre.

	The Canadian Foundation of Polish-Jewish Heritage - Once the Courier from Warsaw, Now the Courier from Washington - Guy Billauer
		Nowak's position was that no matter what came out of the official investigation being conducted by the Polish Institute for National Remembrance (IPN), Poland should sustain a courageous fight for historical truth in the Jedwabne case.
		Nowak's call for an inclusive commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the massacre, his essays about Polish pride and Polish guilt, his realization that this difficult debate carried within it the potential to bring the Polish and Jewish communities closer together, were instrumental in moving the sensitive public discussion in the right direction.
		At times, Nowak's departure seemed like the most celebrated event of the summer with so many think tanks and international human rights organizations honoring the 87-year old giant on the eve of departure.

		According to the findings of the investigation into the 1941 Jedwabne pogrom, announced by the National Remembrance Institute (IPN) on July 9, the Jews of Jedwabne were killed by a group of Polish civilians.
		Przewoźnik said the council's actions related to the Jedwabne case are focused on commemorating the victims of the crime rather than commenting on statements made by the IPN and the Yad Vashem Institute.
		According to Andrzej Przewoźnik, secretary general of the Council for the Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom-the body that negotiated the wording of the inscription on the monument in Jedwabne last year and is responsible for supervision of such monuments, the council is not too concerned with this issue at present.

He said more documents about spying on church figures would be published later this year in a book by a historian given special access to documents at the state-run institute.

		The Polish Institute for National Remembrance (IPN) claims to have files stating that Father Hejmo worked for the secret services in the 1980s under the pseudonyms "Hejnal" and "Dominik".
		He has denied the allegations, made by a Polish institute investigating Nazi and Communist era crimes in Poland.

		The National Remembrance Institute (IPN) on 1 July held a conference titled "The Crimes of Ukrainian Nationalists Committed Against the Polish population in 1939-1948 in the Light of Investigations Conducted by IPN Prosecutors." The proceedings of the conference were subsequently published on the IPN website (http://www.ipn.gov.pl/).
		The first hypothesis assumes that the extermination of the Polish population in Volhynia was planned and prepared in advance by the leadership of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its military arm, the UPA, and subsequently carried out by UPA units, groups of Ukrainian self-defense, and Ukrainian peasants.
		The culmination of anti-Polish actions by the OUN-UPA in Volhynia took place in July-August 1943, when some 17,000 people were killed.

		Even if the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (the IPN) declared that, indeed, the Polish inhabitants of Jedwabne murdered their Jewish neighbours as a result of their own initiative, there is little guarantee that the majority of Poles would believe it.
		Germans must have ordered SOME (not all) Polish dwellers of Jedwabne to help round-up the Jews, which was carried out.
		The objective truth about the tragedy in Jedwabne is impossible to be established since there is only testimony of witnesses, some made many years after.

		Shortly after the release of Professor Gross' book in the United States, the National Institute of Remembrance will publish the results of its investigation of the Jedwabne massacre.
		Nevertheless, we cannot allow the case of Jedwabne to serve the purpose of spreading false theses about Poland's co-responsibility for the Holocaust·" It is exceedingly important not to perceive the tragedy of Jedwabne as a reflection on the Polish people.
		We call on the Polish and Jewish communities in the United States and around the world to carefully read and assess the results of the ongoing investigation to examine the historical facts surrounding the tragedy, and engage in an honest and constructive public discussion about the events that occurred in Jedwabne.
