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 Poles, who are seeking compensation, say they will protest this year’s March of the Living because they have no other way of getting attention. The annual march is linked to Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls this year on April 13.
