The television series Our Mothers, Our

was first broadcast in 2013 and features five young German friends. One of these friends, Viktor is about to be deported to Auschwitz.

Viktor manages to escape, then joins the Polish Home Army. But it was the portrayal of the Polish Home Army, the so-called “Armia Krajowa”, to which the court objected.

The court said the broadcaster, ZDF, had suggested “this military organisation had an antisemitic character”.

Moreover, the court claimed that the German film had suggested that representatives of this Polish military organisation “had an aversion to Jews, were indifferent to their lot, and were imbued with an antisemitic attitude”.
