Controversy over Israel-Poland deal denounced by Holocaust memorial.

Israel's national Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, has criticized a new agreement renewing Israeli school trips to Poland, saying it recommends a number of "problematic sites" that distort history. The list of authorized sites in Poland had been compiled without Yad Vashem's input and includes "problematic sites that should not be visited in an educational context." The inclusion of more controversial sites that are unlikely to be visited might be rooted more in Polish politics than international education.
