Poland's prime minister has written to streaming company Netflix insisting on changes to The Devil Next Door, a documentary about the Nazi death camps.

Axar.az reports citing BBC that Mateusz Morawiecki said a map shown in the series locates the death camps within modern-day Poland's borders.

This misrepresents Poland as being responsible for the death camps when it was actually occupied by Germany in World War Two, Mr. Morawiecki said.

Netflix told Reuters it was aware of concerns regarding the documentary.

Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, which marked the beginning of the war.

The Germans built concentration camps including at Auschwitz, killing millions of people, most of them Jews.

Mr. Morawiecki said in his letter to Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, that it was important to "honour the memory and preserve the truth about World War II and the Holocaust".

He accused "certain works" on Netflix of being "hugely inaccurate" and "rewriting history".
