The plans to place a monument to Righteous Gentiles next to the Polin Museum History of Polish Jews which opened in the last months, produced a furor that is still in play. A group of second generation family members of Holocaust survivors sent a letter of protest recently to the committee in charge of choosing the site for the monument, which at present is destined to be on the sight of the largest Jewish ghetto that existed in Nazi-occupied Europe - the Warsaw Ghetto.
The family members of the survivors argue that placing the monument at middle of the former ghetto will desecrate the spot, turning it from a memorial of the Holocaust survivors to a place that signifies the heroism of the Poles.
