Yorkshire Coast Libraries Highlight Holocaust Memorial Day
Mark Weitzman, the director of government affairs for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a USA -based group that battles anti-Semitism, called the law "an obscene whitewashing" of history.
But Gur-Ari said he opposes the bill because "it would be a great sin to erase the actions of the Poles during the Holocaust".
Several Israeli lawmakers and Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial came out against the legislation passed Friday by the lower house of the Polish parliament. "Auschwitz-Birkenau is not a Polish name, and "Arbeit Macht Frei" is not a Polish phrase", Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Twitter on Saturday.
"Auschwitz is the most bitter lesson on how evil ideologies can lead to hell on earth", Morawiecki said in a statement.
"My grandmother was murdered in Poland by Germans and Poles", he wrote.
The Deputy Minister was asked where the Foreign Ministry had missed the mark in its activity vis-a-vis the Poles, apparently leading to the dismal outcome of the vote on the law.
We do not like this matter and we conveyed the message from the prime minister through the president and the Israeli Foreign Ministry, and we very much hope that this message will be conveyed.
The Polish government said the bill was not meant to limit freedom to research or discuss the Holocaust.

"We understand that there is a much higher motivation here than the semantics of the camps that were on Polish soil and were operated by the Nazi regime".
The 27th of January marks the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp by Soviet troops in 1945, and since 2005 it is a United Nations designated International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. It is expected to be passed by the Senate before being signed into law by the president. "The extermination camps were set up in Nazi-occupied Poland in order to murder the Jewish people within the framework of the 'Final Solution'".
But between these broad strokes of Nazi genocide and Polish heroism, some Poles also turned on Jews - or at least helped Germans kill them.
"Restrictions on statements by scholars and others regarding the Polish people's direct or indirect complicity with the crimes committed on their land during the Holocaust are a serious distortion", they said. But, he added, the Polish government's opposition to the term "Polish death camps" is justified.
On a sterner tone, Israel's Education and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett instructed schools to dedicate two hours this week to study about the involvement of European nations in the Holocaust.
Duda appeared to address the concerns expressed by Azari saying that "everyone whose personal memory or historical research speaks the truth about the crimes and shameful behavior that occurred in the past with the participation of Poles has full right to this truth".
Quoting former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski's words to the Knesset, Rivlin stated that "one cannot fake history, one cannot rewrite it, one cannot hide the truth. These facts must be taught to the next generation".
