Israel decries Holocaust desecration in Poland

Israel's ambassador to Poland on Sunday deplored the desecration of a Holocaust memorial in southern Poland and criticized world leaders who deny Israel's right to exist.

"This is a disgrace not only to all Jews but also to the Just Poles who risked their lives to save them," Zvi Rav-Ner told a gathering of some 1,000 Poles and Jews on the site of Nazi Germany's former forced-labor camp in Plaszow on the outskirts of Krakow. (Reuters)
