WJC removes Stern's comments

Apparently, WJC became embarrassed of Maram Stern's comments on the issue of Auschwitz renaming, because the news note can no longer be found in the archive. For some time it will be available through the Google cache.

It would be a bad joke, if it weren't for real...

From the report of Ortskommandatur II/347, Borislav (July of 1941):
Population is still strongly irritated because of murder of many Ukrainians by the Russians during their retreat. After Russians left, Ukrainians took revenge and killed about 350 Jews.
