Jews gain in Auschwitz
THE Jewish community in Oswiecim (Auschwitz) in southern Poland yesterday recovered a synagogue in the city where Nazi German invaders set up the largest death camp of the Second World War. It is the first Jewish property returned under last year's law on relations with Jewish communities, which allows Poland's nine tiny congregations to recover properties lost during and after the Holocaust.
