Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Polish Prosecutors Investigate Far-Right MEP Over Auschwitz Denial
Caption: Polish Prosecutors Investigate Far-Right MEP Over Auschwitz Denial. Polish prosecutors have launched a criminal probe into far-right MEP Grzegorz Braun after he publicly denied Nazi crimes at Auschwitz during a July 10 interview. Braun called the camp’s gas chambers “a fake” and accused the Auschwitz Museum of spreading a “pseudo-historical narrative.” - According to Politico. The investigation, led by the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes Against the Polish Nation, falls under a law that criminalizes Holocaust denial, punishable by up to three years in prison. The move follows complaints from public figures, including the museum’s director, who said Braun’s remarks were antisemitic and unlawful. The MEP made his comments during a visit to Jedwabne, where he also rejected historical accounts of a 1941 pogrom. Braun has a record of inflammatory acts and recently ran for president, winning over 6% of the vote. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
