Piotr Glinski detailed his concerns in a letter on Friday to the President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani, which sponsored the exhibit at the House of European History.

He wrote: “This exhibition violates fundamental historical truth in matters of fundamental importance, omits many important historical facts and presents, in many cases, a biased interpretation of them.”

Mr Glinski said he received “numerous signals and letters” critical of the exhibition since it opened in May.

He continued in the letter that the exhibition’s narrative “shows that the greatest victims of World War II were Germans, without indicating their role as aggressors and initiators of the Second World War and without counting the civilian victims of German warfare throughout Europe”.
