Disputed Jedwabne monument removed, but replacement still uncertain
The controversial monument commemorating the massacre of 1600 Jews in
Jedwabne with an inscription blaming the Germans has been removed. It will
be replaced with a new 'accurate' monument, but it is still not known what
inscription it will bear, since a decision will not be made until the end of
April. According to the authorities of Jedwabne the place where the shed
once stood in which the Jews were immolated will be turned into a war
cemetery. According to Andrzej Przewoznik, head of the Martyrdom and
Struggle Memory Council, the design has already been prepared. (Gazeta
