Some of the small numbers of Polish Jews who survived faced violence and persecution at Polish hands after the war, driving many to emigrate to countries including the United States and Israel, which was founded as a sanctuary for Jews after the Holocaust and which today is home to tens of thousands of aging Holocaust survivors. Most were killed in the Holocaust and their properties confiscated by the Nazis. “Linking this act with the Holocaust raises my firm objection.”īefore World War II, Poland was home to Europe’s largest Jewish community of nearly 3.5 million people. “I unequivocally reject this rhetoric and say it with all my strength," Duda said. The law does not distinguish between Jewish and non-Jewish claimants, and Duda said he strongly objected to anyone suggesting that the law was directed specifically against Jews who survived the Holocaust. “Property restitution is a small yet significant part of the process to fulfill the rights of those who have survived and to acknowledge those who have perished in one of the world’s biggest genocides,” Gantz said.ĭuda said Saturday that he had analyzed the matter carefully and decided to sign the law to end legal uncertainty and fraud linked to properties whose ownership remains in doubt decades after their seizure. “Poland today approved - not for the first time - an immoral, anti-Semitic law,” said Lapid, whose late father was a Holocaust survivor.ĭefense Minister Defense Minister Benny Gantz, noting that he was the son of Holocaust survivors, said he was “deeply disturbed." The Israel Foreign Ministry also said it was recommending that the Polish ambassador, who is on vacation home, not return to Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called Duda's signing of the law “a shameful decision and disgraceful contempt for the memory of the Holocaust” and said “Poland has chosen to continue harming those who have lost everything.”įoreign Minister Yair Lapid said that he had instructed Israel's charges d'affaires in Warsaw to return home immediately and that the new Israeli ambassador to Poland, who was scheduled to leave for Warsaw, will remain in Israel. and Israeli governments had strongly urged Poland not to pass the law and Israel had warned it would harm ties. It is expected to cut off for all time the hopes of some families - both Jewish and non-Jewish - of reclaiming property seized during that era.īoth the U.S.

After years of close ties under former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s new government, which includes top officials who are the children of Holocaust survivors, has taken a far more confrontational approach. The move ignited a diplomatic crisis between Israel’s new government and the nationalist conservative government in Poland.

Citadel and other SHFs guilty of manipulating the market and attempting to bankrupt companies using unsuspecting people’s pensions are in the wrong. In my opinion, going long on a stock shouldn’t threaten to bring the financial system to its knees.
