The MP retold the story of his grandfather's brother who was killed by the Nazis for harbouring Jewish refugees during WWII.
Jan was instructed to dig his own grave before he and his family were finally executed.
Mr Kawczynski said it was up to individuals to take legal action against Germany as "80 years on they refuse to take responsibility for the genocide in Poland."
