controversy
With a report from Israel published in “The World”, Miriam Hollstein triggered a wave of protests in Poland in November 2008. In the text it was mentioned that the grandfather of one of the protagonists died in the “Polish Majdanek concentration camp ”. This formulation was viewed as scandalous. “Welt” editor-in-chief Thomas Schmid then published a correction that it was a “concentration camp set up by the Germans in occupied Poland” and sent a letter of apology to the Polish embassy. Miriam Hollstein also apologized for this formulation in interviews with Polish newspapers. But the Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Ryszard Schnepf announced that he would be suing the newspaper for “false accusations against the Polish nation”. Ultimately, the Polish Foreign Ministry waived the lawsuit. In 2015, the District Court of Warsaw dismissed a private individual's complaint because of Hollstein's article. The plaintiff had demanded that Axel Springer Verlag should atone for this "falsification of history" by paying the equivalent of 240,000 euros to social institutions and also apologizing in advertisements in the Polish press and on television.
