The Associated Press has officially changed its style guide to rule out the expression “Polish death camps.” The entry banning the term reads: “Concentration camps. For World War II camps in countries occupied by Nazi Germany, do not use phrases like Polish death camps that confuse the location and the perpetrators. Use instead, for example, death camps in Nazi-occupied Poland.” Poland’s Foreign Ministry applauded the move, stressing that Polish diplomats and the Polish community abroad have for years fought against the use of the term. The AP follows The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, among others, in banning the term.
