Poland's parliament passes law that would prevent former Polish property owners, including Holocaust survivors and their descendants, from regaining property expropriated by country's communist regime
Lawmakers discuss a ban on non-European firms controlling Polish broadcasters, in Warsaw, Poland August 11, 2021.
The adopted amendment to Poland's administrative law would prevent property ownership and other administrative decisions from being declared void after 30 years. It affects Jewish and non-Jewish owners who had properties seized in the communist era. "The way you stop wild re-privatisation and corruption is to go against corruption,” he told The Associated Press. "You don’t do it by taking the claims of legitimate heirs."
"The anti-restitution law restricting property claims by victims of the Holocaust is a daylight robbery that desecrates the memory of the Holocaust," he said.
