NBC says Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against 'Polish' - Poland wants correction

Poland is asking for a correction after NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell said that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was against “the Polish and Nazi regime.” “[T]he 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a heroic act against the German Nazis who established the ghetto & carried out the #Holocaust. During WWII Poland was attacked &occupied by the German Nazi regime,” the Polish Embassy in the United States wrote in a tweet Wednesday to MSNBC. Thank you @mitchellreports @MSNBC for reporting in Warsaw. However, the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a heroic act against the German Nazis who established the ghetto & carried out the #Holocaust. During WWII Poland was attacked &occupied by the German Nazi regime. #WordsMatter — Embassy of Poland US (@PolishEmbassyUS) February 13, 2019 The World Jewish Congress also called for a retraction. “The Warsaw Ghetto was a diabolical creation of Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. The Jewish insurgents who rose up fought against Germans,” its president, Ronald Lauder, said Thursday in a statement. On Thursday, Mitchell apologized for her statement, saying she “misspoke.” I misspoke on the show yesterday when I discussed the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. To be clear, the Polish government was not involved in these horrific acts. I apologize for the unfortunate inaccuracy. — Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) February 14, 2019 Officials from more than 60 countries, among them Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, are attending a Middle East-themed conference in Warsaw.
