Two more monuments to martyrs of Nazi atrocities during World War II were unveiled in Poland this week, according to dispatches from Warsaw received here today.
One of the monuments is at Otwock. There, in 1942, the Nazis murdered 5,000 Jews who had been herded into a newly-established ghetto.
The second of the monuments is at Trawniki, in the Lublin district. At a concentration camp at Trawniki, the Nazis had gathered prisoners of various nationalities, then murdered them in mass.
Officials of the Polish Government, regional officials in the areas, and representatives of the Federation of Jewish Cultural and Social Organizations of Poland, attended the ceremonies dedicating both monuments, the Warsaw dispatches stated.
