NEW YORK – MSNBC reporter Andrea Mitchell apologized Thursday for referring in her broadcast to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – in which Jewish resistance fighters fought the German Nazis on the eve of the ghetto’s liquidation in 1943 – as a revolt against Poles and Nazis. Mitchell’s apology came following a demand by WJC President Ronald S. Lauder to MSNBC to retract the statement, and similar calls by other Jewish leaders and Polish officials.
