WARSAW, Poland (VINnews) — The Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation has filed a criminal complaint against Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz following remarks and actions in parliament that the group says distorted Holocaust history.

The foundation said the incident could violate Polish laws prohibiting the promotion of totalitarian ideologies and incitement to hatred. It also submitted a separate ethics complaint to parliament seeking disciplinary action.

In a statement, the group said the use of Holocaust-related imagery in this context risks fueling hostility and undermining historical truth.

Legal experts cited by the organization noted that how prosecutors proceed may depend in part on parliamentary protections.

Authorities in Poland have not yet announced whether charges will be filed.
