60th anniversary memorial planned at the site of the Jedwabne massacre

A memorial ceremony for Jewish victims of the Jedwabne massacre will be held on July 10, exactly sixty years after the event. At least 3,000 people, including President Kwasniewski, will attend the commemoration. Representatives of Jewish communities and relatives of the victims will be invited to meet President Kwasniewski. Also attending will be members of the Association of the Just among World Nations, including Poles who rescued Jews during the Second World War. The Catholic Church has not yet announced which of its own representatives will be participating. A monument commemorating the victims will be erected at the site of the massacre in time for the ceremony. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 10) P.W.
