Netanyahu says he expects Polish Holocaust bill to be fixed
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he expects Poland will amend proposed legislation that would outlaw the blaming of Poles for crimes committed during the Holocaust.
Netanyahu tells ministers that Israel has “no tolerance for the distortion of the truth, the rewriting of history and the denial of the Holocaust.”
The lower house of the Polish parliament’s bill prescribes prison time for referring to “Polish death camps” and criminalizes the mention of Polish complicity.
The bill still needs approval from Poland’s Senate and president. Still, it marks a dramatic step by the nationalist government to enforce its official stance that all Poles were heroes during the war.
