Jewish group welcomes changes to Polish law

The World Jewish Congress has welcomed Poland's decision to scrap criminal provisions that were part of a Holocaust speech law.

 

Polish lawmakers overwhelmingly approved the changes Wednesday at the request of Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

 

Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, said the organization was "pleased that the Polish government has recognized the untenable nature of its new Holocaust law."
