'Polish law could seriously damage relations'

Social Equality Minister Meirav Cohen responded on Friday to the Polish Senate’s approval of the controversial restitution law.

"The Polish parliament's insistence on promoting the law denying Jews the right to reclaim their property taken as a result of the atrocities of the Nazis and their partners during World War II could seriously damage relations. History cannot be changed. It is my duty and that of my fellow members of the government to work for the realization of the rights of survivors," she said.
