Poles gave generally adverse reviews to Shoah by Claude Lanzmann for distorting Polish bystanders during World War II. Critics from Solidarity and the Communist Party called the film biased and slanderous though some welcomed the broadcast to spark debate on Polish Jewish relations and anti Semitism.
