Personal views

About his book (whose title translates to "Kaunas Lithuania - Poland was there"), which he released in 2021, Marian Kałuski writes many things. For example, in his own words:

Sowing by Lithuanian nationalists among Lithuanians a straightforward hatred of Poland and Poles and everything that is Polish was certainly a phenomenon in the history of not only Europe, but also the world. This is because until 1918, Poles and Lithuanians were brothers and Poles did not give Lithuanians any reason to hate them. You can look for the hand of Satan in it, otherwise it cannot be explained in any logical way. Lithuanians became his instrument in sowing hatred between nations. Personally, as a Catholic, I am amazed at the great role of the Lithuanian Catholic Church in this satanic work![3]
Furthermore, he states that
The second goal of the book is to show how Lithuanian nationalists - exceptionally stiff enemies of Poland, Poles and everything that is Polish for over a hundred years (in fact almost all Lithuanians) since 1918...
The Australian Jewish writer and physician Serge Liberman describes some of Kałuski's journalistic writings as "vehemently antagonistic to Jews and to Israel".

"Zasianie przez nacjonalistów litewskich wśród Litwinów wprost zwierzęcej nienawiści do Polski i Polaków oraz wszystkiego co polskie było z pewnością fenomenem w dziejach nie tylko Europy, ale i świata. A to dlatego, że do 1918 r. Polacy i Litwini byli braćmi i Polacy nie dali Litwinom żadnego powodu do ich nienawidzenia. Dopatrywać się w tym można ręki Szatana, bo inaczej tego w żaden logiczny sposób wytłumaczyć nie można. Litwini stali się jego narzędziem w sianiu nienawiści między narodami. Mnie osobiście jako katolika, zadziwia wielka rola katolickiego Kościoła litewskiego w tym szatańskim dziele!"; "Drugim celem książki jest pokazanie w jaki sposób nacjonaliści litewscy – wyjątkowo zacieki wrogowie Polski, Polaków i wszystkiego co polskie od ponad stu lat (w zasadzie to prawie wszyscy Litwini) od 1918 roku doprowadzili do prawie całkowitej zagłady 250 000 społeczności polskiej mieszkającej na Litwie Kowieńskiej.".
