Correct Answer:
Option C —
Poland
In 2021, Poland passed a controversial amendment to its Administrative Procedure Code, which is widely referred to as the 'Holocaust property bill'.Key Details
The Legislation: The law introduced a 30-year statute of limitations on challenging administrative decisions related to property seizures.
The Impact: Since most property in Poland was confiscated during World War II or the subsequent Communist era, this law effectively made it impossible for Holocaust survivors or their descendants to recover stolen property or seek compensation.
Global Reaction: The bill caused a significant diplomatic rift between Poland and Israel, with the Israeli government calling the law "immoral" and "antisemitic," while the Polish government defended it as a move to provide legal certainty and prevent fraudulent claims.
