The Polish Parliament has allocated nearly $100,000 for the cleaning up of the fields around the Treblinka death camp and for the erection there of a mausoleum homoring the memory of the 800,000 persons who were killed there.

The Central Jewish Committee had protested to the Government officials that ever since the end of the war no effort had been made to bury the skeletons and remains of countless victims lying about the site of the camp. The Committee estimated that 95 percent of the persons killed in Treblinka were Jews.
