We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
To those who are incapable of presenting the historic truth in an honest way, I want to say that Poland was not a perpetrator but a victim of World War Two.

You can be a victim of cancer, or a survivor of cancer. It's a mindset.
