Legal interventions targeting fundraising campaigns that promote antisemitic content and Holocaust denial.

As part of our work to combat antisemitism and safeguard the memory of the Holocaust, the Jewish Association Czulent undertakes legal action in relation to crowdfunding platforms where fundraising campaigns promote antisemitic content, reinforce prejudice, and deliberately deny established historical facts about the Holocaust.

The fundraising campaigns we have identified—published on platforms such as Zrzutka.pl and Pomagam.pl—seek to finance:

  • events and campaigns that seek to undermine the responsibility of the perpetrators of the crimes in Jedwabne,
  • films and commentaries that disseminate historical falsehoods,
  • the activities of groups linked to violence motivated by national or ethnic hatred,
  • media content promoting Holocaust denial and conspiracy theories.

In many cases, such fundraising campaigns are used to finance criminal activity and to disseminate unlawful content, including material that may violate Article 55 of the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance, which criminalises the denial of Nazi crimes, including the Holocaust.

Wystąpiliśmy do operatorów platform crowdfundingowych, wzywając do natychmiastowego usunięcia wskazanych zbiórek zgodnie z Art. 16 Digital Services Act – DSA. In the absence of a response, we have submitted formal complaints to the Digital Services Coordinator (the President of the Office of Electronic Communications) .

Our actions form part of strategic litigation: they go beyond individual cases and aim to drive lasting systemic change. We believe that digital platforms must be held accountable for enabling the dissemination of content that spreads hatred, discrimination, and historical falsehoods.
