Polish nationalists march against U.S. law on compensating Jews
(MENAFN) Polish nationalists have marched on Saturday against a U.S. law regarding the compensation of property seized from Jewish people during or after the Second World War.
The 2018 law, known as Act 447, requires American authorities to check the progress made by countries, including Poland, which signed the 2009 Terezin declaration on the restitution of assets seized from Jewish people.
The protesters held banners with slogans such as "This is Poland, not Polin" (Polin is the name for Poland in Hebrew) or "No to the Holocaust industry".
Polish nationalists claimed that the law could mean the country would have to pay as much as USD300 billion in compensations, while U.S. officials have said the American law is only a monitoring tool and Poland itself would decide on how to comply with the Terezin declaration.
