The language and ideology of "Nasz Dziennik" has been compared to the pre-World War II National Democracy ("Endecja") movement, which advocated an exclusionary definition of "Polishness" as associated with Catholicism. "Nasz Dziennik" also frequently refers to the "Poles' Five Truths", a canon of national values first formulated in the late 1930s and cited by present-day Polish nationalists, which include the statement that "Our ancestors’ faith is the faith of our children". During the public debate in Poland over the 1941 Jedwabne pogrom, "Nasz Dziennik" denied Polish involvement and published antisemitic letters as well as "scholarly" articles explaining the pogrom as revenge for treasonous actions by Jewish communists. "Nasz Dziennik" opposed a Polish national apology for Jedwabne as "unnecessary submission and compliance", which would invite further "demands, libel, accusations, and blackmail from the all-powerful Jewish lobby". During the debate over the Auschwitz cross, "Nasz Dziennik" defended the cross, publishing articles on the matter that ranged from informative to antisemitic.
