Following recent developments on Poland’s Holocaust Law, Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said:
“We welcome the decision to repeal the controversial clauses of the anti-defamation law. This is certainly a step in the right direction.
“The history of the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland is a complex and difficult one. When inaccurate language is used, it should be addressed through education and learning.
“Here at the Holocaust Educational Trust, we hope this decision ensures that the study of the Holocaust remains uninhibited in its objective research, discussion and education, and is done with the honesty and sensitivity it deserves. It is imperative that we always uphold the truth of the past."
