Popis: On the eve of the Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27th of January, the Polish Sejm approved a law on the defamation of the Polish State and Nation, causing extremely harsh reactions from Israel, Holocaust survivors and international organizations. While the attempt to ban the use of the word „Polish concentration camp“ seems fully justified, the scope of the law goes way beyond that and is a threat to the freedom of speech and academic research.
