Senate Committee Approves Dziady Cz 3, Controversial Holocaust Drama

Bill Moves to Full Senate for Debate

A Senate committee has approved legislation that would authorize the construction of a controversial Holocaust drama, Dziady Cz 3, in Poland.

The bill, which was approved by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by a vote of 12-9, now moves to the full Senate for debate.

The legislation has been met with opposition from some Jewish groups, who have argued that the play is anti-Semitic.

Controversy Surrounding the Play

Dziady Cz 3 is a play by Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz that was written in 1832.

The play tells the story of a group of Polish peasants who are arrested and tortured by the Russian authorities.

The play has been criticized by some Jewish groups for its portrayal of Jews as being complicit in the persecution of the Poles.

Senate Committee's Decision

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations approved the bill by a vote of 12-9.

The committee's decision was based on the belief that the play is a valuable work of art that should be protected by the government.

The committee also noted that the play has been performed in Poland for over 100 years without any reports of anti-Semitism.

Reaction from Jewish Groups

The decision by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has been met with opposition from some Jewish groups.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has called on the Senate to reject the bill, arguing that the play is "anti-Semitic and deeply offensive."

The ADL also noted that the bill would violate the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's policy against funding projects that promote anti-Semitism.

Next Steps

The bill now moves to the full Senate for debate.

It is unclear at this time when the bill will be considered by the full Senate.

If the bill is passed by the Senate, it will then go to the President for his signature.
