Experts say mass grave of victims of Jedwabne atrocity discovered
Polish archaeologists say they have found the grave site of the Jews who
were murdered in the Jedwabne mass killing in July of 1941. At the request
of the Jewish community, however, the scientists refrained from attempting
to exhume any of the victims' bodies, making it impossible at this time to
determine the exact number of the victims. The experts say the finding will
allow the state to go ahead with plans to create a cemetery at the site of
the atrocity. According to Russian archive documents found in Bialystok in
1940, 562 Jews lived in Jedwabne at that time. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) J.K.
