Warsaw lawmakers pass Holocaust bill to restrict term 'Polish death camps'


The president has not said whether he will sign the bill, but has suggested he sympathizes with its aims. The bill would impose three years prison sentences for mentioning the term "Polish death camps," although it says scientific research into the Second World War would not be constrained. "We will never limit the freedom to debate the Holocaust," Morawiecki said on the Polish state television TVP. Poland has long sought to discourage use of the term "Polish camps" to refer to Nazi camps on its territory, arguing that the phrase implies complicity. "Anyone who spreads a false statement about 'Polish camps' harms the good name and interests of Poland," Tusk said on Twitter.
