A monument to the memory of the 350, 000 Jews murdered in the Chelmno camp in Poland will be unveiled next September, on the 25th anniversary of the German invasion of Poland, it was reported here today from Warsaw.

This will be the third such monument in Chelmno. One had been erected eight years ago to commemorate a revolt of a group of Jewish inmates against the Nazis; another is in memory of thousands of Poles murdered by the Nazis. The Poles had been kept as hostages of the German army in Chelmno, and eventually murdered. The third monument will consist of sculptured figures symbolizing the tragedy of war and the martyrdom of the victims of the Nazis.
