Polish Nazi death camps to be preserved

WARSAW, POLAND -- The International Auschwitz Council agreed yesterday to modernize a 51-year-old exhibition at the site of the Nazi death camp and build walls to prevent the ruins of gas chambers from sinking into the ground.

The decision to renovate and preserve remains of the vast Nazi death camp in southern Poland marks a change in the long-standing approach to maintaining the site, which has been left as the Allies found it. The Allies liberated the camp at the end of the Second World War when they defeated Nazi German forces occupying Poland. But two of the gas chambers are slowly sinking into the ground and will likely slide out of sight within the next two decades if nothing is done.

The headline is offensive. I suppose, the writer wanted to avoid at least the even more ominous "Polish death camp", but "Polish nazi"? IMO, even the sentence "The Allies liberated the camp at the end of the Second World War when they defeated Nazi German forces occupying Poland" isn't enough of a clarification.

Now we need to make sure the other remaining camps are preserved.
