    I have read the linked article, and the links to those.

    So Poland will no longer be the whipping boy for all manner of Holocaust-related accusations (not quite anyway), and so now the peddlers of these never-ending accusations are having a conniption.

    I just love it!

      Not true, the government of Poland will try to explain the problem to Israeli government and possibly to modify the law.

    Here is a statement by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the law in question. http://www.msz.gov.pl/en/p/msz_en/news/communique_of_the_ministry_of_foreign_affairs_on_amendment_of_the_act_on_the_institute_of_national_remembrance_

      On a side note I sent my copy of Bieganski to Mr. Tyrmand.
