The death camps were not just for jewish people. Polish people also filled death camps. How is identifying a death camp where there were Polish people as a "polish death camp" insulting to anyone, or factually incorrect?
Because calling a death camp a [insert name] death camp is an indictment of those running the camp, not of those housed in the camp.
Thus, a 'Nazi' death camp indicates the Nazi's were running the camp, in the same manner that calling it a 'Polish' death camp is saying that the Polish were running the death camp... which they obviously were not.
Do you seriously not understand that being even accidentally compared to the Nazi's in regards to running a death camp, might just be a little upsetting, insulting, and factually incorrect???
He didn't make a mistake, and he knew what he was doing. He's minimalizing Nazi involvement because he approves of what the Nazis did in Poland.
The Nazis had a tremendous propaganda machine at work in Poland, prior to the death camps. They enlisted the support of the Polish people in their own genocide, by embarking on a campaign to get them to abort their own children. This was just before they went ahead and started sterilizing and forcibly aborting them.
Using propaganda, *science* and *education* the Nazis encouraged Polish women to get abortions, with the objective of making them willing participants in their own genocide, and to free them up for work.
Obama approves of what happened in Poland. He's going to do what he can to make such campaigns look normal and good, because that's what he wants here. And to do that, it's important to remove the stigma and make it appear that they willingly participated in it.
