Poles who claim they were evicted from their land when the Nazis built the Auschwitz concentration camp plan to block an annual march of Jewish youths commemorating the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.

The annual march is linked to Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls this year on April 13.
