New ‘information center’ in Polish town denies murders of Jews by local Poles in 1941

JL;DR SUMMARY A new information center in Jedwabne, Poland, is sparking controversy by denying the town's 1941 massacre of Jews by local Poles. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
