      Poland Gives Concentration Camp Site Memorial Status


      Polish officials have decided to grant official memorial site status to a concentration camp near Warsaw. The camp, Postkau, was dismantled before the end of World War II.

      Approximately 15,000 people were murdered in the camp during the war. Polish authorities expressed concern that if the camp were not made an official site, people might forget it existed. Officials discussed various ideas to commemorate the site, including the establishment of a museum or the partial reconstruction of the camp.
