Poland's Senate approves Holocaust law

Poland's Senate has approved a law that would penalize suggestions of Polish blame for Nazi crimes committed inside the country during the Holocaust. <br/><br/>Lawmakers passed the measure today by a vote of 57-23. Poland's Lower House of Parliament gave its approval last week. To become law, it needs only the signature of President Andrzej Duda.<br/><br/>The law would make it a crime to call the Nazi genocide of Jews a Polish crime, or the Nazi death camps Polish death camps, even though some of the most brutal Nazi atrocities took place on Polish soil.
