Polish president approves Holocaust law changes

Poland’s president has signed into law amendments which abolish the threat of prison for anyone who blames Poland for Nazi Germany’s Holocaust crimes.

The amendments were introduced Wednesday morning by the prime minister and quickly approved by lawmakers.

President Andrzej Duda’s office says he “consistently emphasizes that the fight and care for the good name and honor of Poles and Poland is a task that should be fulfilled by all Polish politicians and public institutions.”
