A school in eastern Poland recently put on a play with children in concentration camp uniforms being executed in Auschwitz gas chambers.
The play was shown on Dec. 10 in the village of Łabunie, near the Ukrainian border, as part of a dance recital in honor of the school being renamed after a group of Polish children deported by the Nazis during World War II.

During the recital, the children, some as young as seven years old, lied down on stage in prisoner uniforms while a smoke machine mimicked Cyclone B gas to represent their execution.
Standing next to them were two older students dressed in Nazi uniforms, inspecting the process with barbed wire behind them.
In the show's climax, the "good guys" appear to defeat the Nazis and resurrect the children.
Yaakov Hagoel, the vice chairman of the World Zionist Organization, said: "The 'touching rendition,' as the play was described by the local Polish press, is nothing less than the cheapening of the Holocaust and the six million who were murdered in it. The fight against anti-Semitism needs to start as early as elementary school and with education toward tolerance and acceptance of the other. I demand that the Polish government condemn this tasteless play."
