Warsaw - Poland wins Name Change for Auschwitz Camp
Warsaw, Poland - The United Nations has agreed to rename Auschwitz concentration camp to stress that Nazi Germans, not Poles, were responsible for the world’s most notorious death camp, Poland’s Culture Ministry said.
“Auschwitz Concentration Camp,” a UN heritage site, will be renamed “the Former Nazi German Concentration Camp of Auschwitz,” the ministry said.
“This decision marks a victory for both Poland and historical truth,” Culture Minister Kazimierz Ujazdowski said.
Poland asked the U.N. in April to rename Auschwitz, where 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, died in World War Two.
Warsaw objects to references to "Polish gas chambers" at the "Polish concentration camp" in foreign media. Nearly 3 million non-Jewish Poles died at Nazi hands, and Poles see themselves as victims of the war.
Because of this image, the role of Poles in the deaths of millions of Polish Jews, and at Auschwitz, is a sore topic. Some accounts say Poles assisted the Nazis at Auschwitz, where 6,000 died every day during 1944.

The poles indeed helped the nazis.
Not only did the poles help the nazis kill jews but hundreds that actually survived Aushwitz, out of all places died in a progrom by the polish people to kill jews that survived Aushwitz.
This is documented and there is an article on this story in this weeks hamodia.
This is just mid boggling how a jew can survived 5 years of hell at a concentration camp and then be killed by the poles who searched for surivors and killed them.
We are just as stupid for paying these******** 12.00 to 16.00 an hour to clean our homes. Have we all gone mad. If your granparents from Europe were alive today they would disown you!
Hire the Mexicans before children of Poles that killed jews.
