Freedom of speech debate regarding Jerzy Kosiński's work

An opinion piece discusses the perceived imbalance in how freedom of speech and hate speech are applied, specifically regarding the treatment of Eastern Europeans. The author critiques the lack of public protest against Jerzy Kosiński’s book, ‘Painted Bird’, which is described as containing falsehoods and hatred toward Poles.

The text notes that despite the book being available in various languages at retailers like Empik, there have been no demands for its withdrawal. It contrasts this with the lack of demand for the republication of Joanna Siedlecka’s documentary work, ‘Czarny ptasior’, which aims to verify Kosiński’s biography and correct his claims.
