Thousands of Holocaust victims' belongings discovered
16,000 possessions taken from Holocaust victims who died at Auschwitz have been discovered in Poland after being lost for nearly 50 years. They were originally excavated in 1967, but were then shelved in cardboard boxes in a store room at the Polish Academy of Sciences. Paweł Sawicki is a spokesperson for the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum who carried out the investigation into the re-discovered objects.
