The Polish prime minister demanded an apology from the U.S. president, Barack Obama, for this speaking in a "Polish concentration camp" during a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday.
The head of Polish government Donald Tusk asks Obama to clarify his statements, since the concentration camps, though they were on Polish soil, were run by the Nazis.
The White House has issued a statement in which it apologizes, but for Tusk, is not enough.
The Prime Minister made a statement on the website of Polish embassy in the U.S.: "We only have this reaction when the lack of knowledge, ignorance and bad intentions lead to such a distortion of history."
"It's a shame that ignorance and incompetence have been present at a ceremony so important," wrote the Polish foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, in your account on the social network Twitter. Sikorski also notes that the blame will not be Obama, but who made the speech.
This tuesday Obama made a controversial reference to deliver the Medal of Freedom posthumously to the war fighter Jan Karski.
The spokesman for the National Security Council of the United States, Tommy Vietor, has already announced that the president made a mistake and he was referring to the Nazi concentration camps in Poland.
