Since I am reading "The Diary of Anne Frank", I decided to take a deeper look at some of the impacts from the Holocaust on Poland. In this book, Anne is in hiding with her family during the second world war. Concentration Camps, like Bergen-Belsen where Anne and her sister died, and Auschwitz where her mother and father were held (Anne and Margot were sent to Bergen-Belsen from Auschwitz).
Earlier in 2018, Poland established a law that is causing some conflicts on the topic of the Holocaust. Auschwitz was located in Poland. The Polish government claims, it will stop Poland from being insulted and blamed for the Holocaust. In my book Anne speaks of the Holocaust in one of her early entries in 1942 Anne speaks of the camp and tells stories of the camps Miep one of her protectors tells her, " Prominent citizens-innocent people-are thrown into prison to await their fate." (Friday October 9, 1942 diary entry). Poland does not want to take credit for the things that the Nazis did during World War Two. It relates to current day because camps were in Poland, Poland thinks they are being blamed for the Holocaust. When they really are not.
