Polish city marks anniversary of liquidation of Jewish ghetto

By The Associated Press

A menorah-shaped monument was unveiled Sunday in Kielce to remember the Polish city's 20,000 Jews killed in the Holocaust, on the 65th anniversary of the liquidation of the Nazi-era ghetto, a news agency reported.

Poland's chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich, led a prayer for the dead in the presence of the city mayor, residents and representatives of the German and Israel embassies during a ceremony marking the unveiling of the steel monument, the Polish news agency PAP reported.

The Nazis - who occupied Poland during World War II - sent Jews in three transports from Sept. 19-24, 1942, to the death camp of Treblinka for extermination.

The Nazis also killed between 1,200 and 1,500 Jews, including pregnant women and children, on the spot, PAP said.

The memorial was designed by a survivor of the killings, Marek Cecula.
