Opposition MP Withdraws Proposal on Holocaust Film 'The Shop on Main Street'

Opposition lawmaker Jarjabek has withdrawn his legislative proposal concerning the classic Slovak Holocaust film 'The Shop on Main Street.' While opposition members of parliament praised the original proposal, they used the opportunity to criticize what they described as a decline in the country's cultural sector. The 1965 film, which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, depicts the story of a Slovak carpenter who becomes the 'Aryan controller' of a Jewish shop during World War II under the Nazi-aligned Slovak State.
