Slovakia's PM apologises for country's WWII role
Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has apologised for his country’s persecution of the Jews during World War II, including the implementation of anti-Jewish laws and mass deportations to the concentration camps. At a commemoration Tuesday marking 73 years from the initial adoption of restrictions on the country’s Jewish residents, Fico said: “I am not able to tell you anything stronger or anything more personal, but that I express a sincere apology for all those who were such a failure. Only the descendants of those who suffered and died may forgive them.
Slovački predsjednik Robert Fico se ispričao zbog progona Židova u II. svjetskom ratu koje je njegova zemlja provodila, uključujući anti-židovske zakone i masovne deportacije u koncentracijske logore.
Na komemoraciji ( u utorak) koja je obilježila 73-godišnjicu prvih primjena restrikcija za Židove, Fico je rekao: "Ja ne mogu da vam kažem ništa jače ili osobnije, nego da izrazim svoje iskreno izvinjenje za sve one koji su to učinili . Samo potomci onih koji su stradali ili umrli mogu im oprostiti.

“The Holocaust that victimised so many people in the name of the mad ideals of fascism brings an everlasting shame on those who participated in them. At the same time, it is a strong warning against it ever being repeated,” Fico said. Some 70,000 Jews were deported to concentration camps from the then-autonomous Slovak Republic, in coordination with the Nazis, of which some 60,000 were killed.
Meanwhile, Stanislav Zvolenský, chairman of the Slovak Confederation of Bishops, denounced Catholic priest Emil Floris’s anti-Jewish statements last month in an address that charged that the Jews were responsible for the hatred leveled at them during the war. Zvolenský said the remarks “are not appropriate for a priest.”
