One Pole was hanged this week and four others have been condemned to death for the murder of Jews during the Nazi occupation of Poland.

A Gestapo informer, Josef Dlubak, was executed in Czestochowa, while Stanislaw Paprotny, a murderer, was condemned by a court in the same city. In this city Alfons Grajewski and Antoni Paskudzki were sentenced to death for participating in the murder of Jews while the Kielce district court condemned former Gestapo Major Otto Busyng, who ordered the execution of over 1,000 Jews during the liquidation of the Kielce ghetto.

The Jewish Central Committee sent a delegation of architects, painters, sculptors and writers to Oswiecim to plan the Jewish part of the museum which the Polish Government is building on the site of the former concentration camp. The museum will embrace 28 blocks, 15 for the Polish section, nine for the international section and four devoted to the history of other German concentration camps.
