Poland, Russia in Auschwitz dispute

Poland and Russia are in a dispute over a memorial at Auschwitz. An exhibition dedicated to Russians who died during the war with the Nazis has been closed for three years, and its reopening at the former death camp has been delayed over a disagreement over just how many Russians were killed, according to Ha’aretz. Russian historians say that nearly half of the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis were Russian, while the museum at Auschwitz says that some 1 million of the dead that the Russians claim were actually citizens of Poland, Romania and the Baltics.
