Two more monuments to Jewish martyrs of the Nazi occupation were unveiled today in Poland, it was reported here from Warsaw. One of the monuments is located in the town of Zaslaw and is dedicated to the memory of 10,000 Jews, Poles and Gypsies who were murdered in the nearby Sarck concentration camp. The other is located at the Jewish cemetery of Pietrikow, and is dedicated to the memory of local Jews killed by the Nazis.
The Committee for the Preservation of Monuments to Nazi martyrs in Poland has opened a special office for visitors on the site of the now-completed Treblinka monument. The office contains maps of the district, postcards and miniatures of the monument for souvenirs. It also has books and pamphlets on the fate of the Jews under the Nazi rule generally and on the fate of the Polish Jews during the Nazi occupation. Stamps also are offered so that visitors can mail postcards bearing a stamp about the death camp.
