Here\u2019s a report from Der Spiegel<\/a> about a Polish sculptor attempting to bring awareness of the issue, arrested for\u00a0\u201ca possible charge of inciting racial or national hatred\u201d and the predictable outrage of the Russians for \u201cdefiling\u201d the memory of the Soviet soldiers.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to see the Poles stand up to their most recent oppressors \u2014 but I suspect they aren\u2019t wholly at liberty to do so.<\/p>\n

Update: the commenters over at National Review Online <\/a>think that the Poles are upset at the reminder that their town used to be German \u2014 that is, upset at the \u201cKomm Frau\u201d label on the sculpture. I\u2019m skeptical of this explanation.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
