Auschwitz exhibiton sours Polish-Russian relations

A descriptive article was published on Tuesday in Russia by "Kommiersant". According to the Moscow daily this is a new sour point in Polish-Russian relations. "The citizens of these lands were forced to accept soviet passports. This was not their sovereign decision," said the museum's director, Piotr Cywinski. The Russian report calls this announcement as changing history and a symptom of anti-Russian hysteria in Poland. Negotiations concerning the final shape of the museum's exhibition have been ongoing for the past three years and still continue. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K.
