List of 15 Auschwitz inmates found in Polish school library

Historians at the Auschwitz memorial and high school officials in central Poland are trying to determine how a list of 15 Polish and Jewish inmates of the Nazi death camp made it into a school library book.

 

A typewritten page, stained, with edges burnt was found last month inside a 1923 Polish book on the history of warfare, during a library stock-taking at the 2nd Lyceum in Lodz, some 200 kilometers (120 miles) from the former camp.

 

"We have no idea how or when it came to be in this book," school director Jadwiga Ochocka told The Associated Press.

 

Auschwitz museum spokesman Pawel Sawicki told the AP on Wednesday that historians have no doubt it is authentic, but will still submit it to tests to confirm that.
