A new, better version of WWII history

After last week's events, it looks like the West, especially Great Britain and France, are ready to accept a brand new version of recent history pushed by Putin and his friends in Germany and France. There were some protest against Putin's lies, but very quickly the liberal media added to that Polish "lies" and "distortions". Just see the latest article in Bloomberg: "The Distortions of Holocaust History by Russia and Poland Are a Disgrace". 

Obviously Germans are happy to shift the blame to their victims while France and Great Britain need to hide their own sin, the sin of betrayal.

So the video played during the World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem that suggests that World War II began in 1942 - from Hitler's attack on Stalin is fine with them. In this vision of the history the USSR never invaded Poland. "Heroic Red Army soldiers" did not bring death, rape and enslavement, but only rescue from the Nazis. In the video half of Polish territory is marked as Belarus. 

As a Polish journalist wrote last week: "The West so easily accepted this lying version of history, because it is very convenient for them. There is no Second Polish Republic in this story, no September 1939, no Żegota, no Polish Righteous, no Jan Karski ... For the West, even the character of the latter is simply uncomfortable. Karski hurts, he brings remorse and it shows that the countries symbolized by a self-satisfied face of Macron, do not have such a beautiful history, as they would like."

All the latest lies about Poland and rewriting of the history is eagerly supported by the world's left leaning liberal media that supported Lenin in 1920 (during the Polish-Soviet war), Stalin in 1939 and 1940's (during Warsaw Uprising), and now Putin, because he makes old Soviet Union sexy again. For them it is simple, Poles bad, Russians good. So, here we are. The history is repeating itself.
