Holocaust survivor pans Poland death camp law proposal
Halina Birenbaum, a Holocaust survivor and acclaimed Israeli author, has slammed legislation regulating Holocaust speech, a move that has the potential to strain relations with both Israel and the United States.
Birenbaum called the new law "madness," telling Israel's Army Radio it was "ludicrous and disproportionate to what actually happened to Jews there."
Birenbaum, a member of the International Auschwitz Committee, said she was concerned the Polish government "might arrest me there for what I'm saying now."
