Poland: Lawmakers approve Holocaust restitution bill
The law would prevent Holocaust survivors from regaining property seized after World War II. It triggered sharp criticism from Israel and the United States.
Aug 12, 2021
Poland's parliament late Wednesday passed legislation that would put an end to most legal claims for properties confiscated after World War II.
The bill states that administrative decisions can no longer be challenged in court after the expiration of a 30-year period — essentially preventing Jews from recovering property seized by Poland's communist-era authorities.
The legislation, which already passed Poland's lower house of parliament, still needs to be signed by President Andrzej Duda, before it can come into force.
