"Polish art show defies ‘cancel culture’ but some see racism
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — An exhibition at a Polish state museum opening Friday features the works of provocative artists in what organizers describe as a celebration of free speech, and a challenge to political correctness and “cancel culture” on the political left."
"The most controversial is Dan Park, a Swedish provocateur who has been jailed on hate crimes in Sweden. In 2009, Park placed swastikas and boxes labeled “Zyklon B” — the gas used in the mass murder of Jews and others during the Holocaust — in front of a Jewish community center in Malmo.
A spokesman for Malmo’s Jewish community, Fredrik Sieradzki, recalled the artist’s actions 12 years ago as “disgusting and deeply offensive,” telling The Associated Press that they “targeted a community that was already threatened by different groups.”
The Jewish community in Poland has strongly protested the museum’s decision to include Park in the new exhibit. In an open letter to the museum director, rabbis and other Jewish representatives argued that promoting such artists offends all people in a country where 6 million Polish citizens — half of whom were Jews and half Christian Poles — were killed during World War II."
