Poland and Israel ‘will talk’ over controversial Holocaust law

POLAND has agreed to hold talks with Israel over controversial new legislation relating to the Holocaust, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last night.

He spoke ahead of Pope Francis’s address to an Italian conference on anti-semitism, at which the Catholic leader called on people of different faiths to build a “common memory” of the Holocaust.

Poland’s new Bill criminalises any references to nazi death camps on occupied Polish soil as “Polish camps” — and also outlaws assertions of Polish complicity in the Holocaust, in which six million Jews, over half of them from Poland, made up the majority of those exterminated.
