Poland’s prosecutors drop case into Holocaust scholar
WARSAW, Poland – Prosecutors in southern Poland have dropped a case into claims made by Holocaust scholar Jan Tomasz Gross that Poles killed more Jews than Germans during World War II.
Gross’ claim in a 2015 article upset many and a probe was subsequently launched on whether the historian insulted the Polish nation.
Prosecutors in Katowice said Tuesday that the evidence gathered offered no clear guidance.
The case against Gross, now a retired Princeton University professor, raised questions about the commitment by Poland’s ruling right-wing Law and Justice party to freedom of research and scholarship.
