Polish President Will Sign Holocaust 1 Law


Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday he will sign a law that would make it a crime to suggest Poles share the blame for Nazi 2 crimes during the Holocaust.


波兰总统安杰伊·杜达(Andrzej Duda)称,他将在周二签署一份法案,该法案规定,将任何认为波兰应为纳粹大屠杀暴行承担责任的言行定为犯罪。


The law orders jail time or fines on anyone calling the Nazi murder of Jews during World War II a "Polish crime," or Nazi death camps "Polish death camps." Some of the worst Nazi crimes were committed in Poland.


该法案还规定,对于将二战期间德国纳粹屠杀犹太人的行为称作“波兰罪行”或将“纳粹集中营”称为“波兰集中营”的人将处以监禁或罚款。其中一些最残暴的纳粹罪行是在波兰犯下的。


Duda said he will also ask Poland's constitutional court for an opinion on the law.


杜达表示,他也会要求波兰宪法法院就该法案发表意见。


Duda had called Poland a victim of Nazi terror, saying six million Poles and three million Jews were murdered by the German. He agreed that some "wicked" Poles helped the Nazis 3, but others, including Poland's exiled wartime government, resisted Hitler's terror.


杜达称,波兰也是纳粹恐怖主义的受害者,他还表示,600万名波兰人和300万名犹太人遭到德国纳粹杀害。他承认,一些“邪恶”的波兰人的确为纳粹提供帮助,但其他波兰人包括流亡的战时政府都抵制希特勒的暴行。


Israeli officials have voiced strong objections to the law, saying it is rewriting history.


以色列官员对该法案表示强烈反对,称此举是篡改历史。


Poland has canceled Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett's Wednesday visit this week because of his recent statement about the law.


近日,以色列教育部长纳夫塔利·贝内特(Naftali Bennett)对该法案发表了声明,因此被波兰政府取消了原定于周三的访问。


"The blood of Polish Jews cries from the ground, and no law will silence it," Bennett said Monday, adding that the government of Poland canceled the visit because he spoke 4 of "the crime of its people. He also said he was "honored."


周一,贝内特称:“大地之下,波兰犹太人的鲜血仍哭泣不止,没有法律能让他们安息。”他还指出,因为他提及“波兰人民的罪行”,所以波兰政府取消了这次访问。他还表示,自己“十分荣幸”。


Bennett would have been the first senior Israeli official to meet with Polish officials since the controversy 5 over the new law started last week.


上周新法案引发争议之后,贝内特或将成为首位与波兰官员会面的以色列高级官员。


Bennett said only a small number of Poles risked their lives to save Jews during the war.


贝内特指出,在战争期间,只有少数波兰人冒死拯救犹太人。
