Poland criminalizes accusing the country of complicity during the holocaust

Poland has a troubled history with regards to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Poland was a victim of the Nazis, but many Poles also aided the Nazis, killed hundreds of Jews, and took the homes of Jews. Like many nations, survivors and descendants remember the pain but do not forget the actions of some who allowed it to happen.

Poland's nationalist government has decided that Poland's role of a victim in the Holocaust is forgotten over the role of some Poles in helping commit the atrocities. Their solution is to criminalize anyone who suggests that Poland played any sort of role in the atrocities of the Nazis. A fine and up to three years in prison can be faced by anyone who dares to remember the full history of Poland in the Holocaust.

Limiting free speech is sure to create the narrative they want...
