Mariusz Bechta

[2][1] During his student days, Bechta organized a solidarity event for Janusz Waluś, a Polish neo-Nazi extremist convicted for assassinating the General Secretary of the South African Communist Party.

[1][6] A few years later, they started two advertising-cum-publishing agencies — "Arte" and "Oficyna Wydawnicza Rekonkwista" — which primarily republished works by European fascists, including by Léon Degrelle, Julius Evola, Jan Mosdorf, Robert Brasillach, Ryszard Mozgol, and Krzysztof Kawęcki.

[9][10] Mazur alleges that Bechta cherry-picks evidence to fit them into a preconceived worldview — for an example, in absolving Romuald Rajs and other members of his brigade from accusations of ethnocide, he did not even consider their testimony rife with anti-minority sentiments.

[9][10] He critiques Bechta's defense of the National Armed Forces against charges of anti-semitism — by invoking the few Jew officials in their ranks — as unbecoming of a professional historian.

[10] August Grabski, an assistant professor at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, finds Bechta's works ideologically motivated and guided by antisemitism.
