Polish authorities have arrested three vandals who have been desecrating the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw for almost a year, opening Jewish mass graves and removing gold teeth from the remains of Jews who were annihilated during the Nazi occupation of the city. All three have admitted their guilt. The police had announced a 10, 000-zloty award for any clue leading to the capture of the vandals.
Polish newspapers reaching here today also report that, in the city of Wroclaw, the police arrested three Poles while they were digging graves in the Jewish cemetery and removing gold teeth from the dead. Some gold crowns and teeth removed by the gang were found in their pockets.
