BBC Europe – Poland’s Senate passes controversial Holocaust bill. Poland’s Senate has approved a controversial bill making it illegal to accuse “the Polish nation or state” of complicity in the Nazi Holocaust. The legislation implicitly prohibits describing Nazi death camps in Poland as Polish. It sets fines or a maximum three-year jail term as punishment. The bill has outraged Israeli MPs who are now seeking to strengthen their own Holocaust denial laws.
