On Friday, the lower house of the Polish Parliament approved a bill that outlaws phrases linking the nation of Poland to the Nazis, such as “Polish death camps.” This bill prescribes potential prison time for using any of these phrases for speaking against the country.
According to World Israel News, this bill is a response to foreign media consistently using the phrase “Polish death camps” when describing the Nazi-run camps located in Poland, such as Auschwitz. In 2012, former president Barack Obama referred to the camps in this way while awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, a resistance fighter during the Holocaust.
