British Jewish leaders have told senior Polish officials of the community’s strong concerns over controversial new Holocaust related legislation.
In a high-level meeting with Arkady Rzegocki, the Polish ambassador, and Bartosz Cichoki, the Polish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, in London on Monday, representatives from four UK Jewish organisations said they were “totally dismayed” at the law making references to Polish involvement in the Holocaust illegal.
Jonathan Arkush, president of the Board of Deputies, attended the meeting together with members of the Jewish Leadership Council, the Holocaust Educational Trust and B’nai Brith UK.
Mr Arkush said: "We set out for the minister the strong arguments against the law and our total dismay against the storm of antisemitic reaction it had created in Poland.
