Anyone familiar with contemporary Poland can see that Poles have assumed the moral duty to remember the crimes of the Holocaust and to preserve the history of Jews in our country. We want honest knowledge of the past to serve as the basis of a strong Polish Jewish future. - HIS EXCELLENCY ALEKSANDER KWASNIEWSKI, PRESIDENT OF POLAND, 1995-2005
