A Polish state-run bank says it has funded the publication in international newspapers of a Polish-Israeli government statement that criticizes those who blame Poland for the Holocaust crimes of Nazi Germany.
The statement, published last week, was signed by the Israeli and Polish prime ministers and came just as Poland scrapped potential prison terms for anyone claiming it shares responsibility for the Holocaust.
It stresses Polish wartime heroism and denounces "anti-Polonism" alongside anti-Semitism, which was seen as a diplomatic coup for Poland. But it's proving a headache for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On Wednesday, the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem said it contains "grave errors and deceptions."
