Warsaw (JTA) — A Roman
Catholic church has been
built on the site of a former
nazi torture chamber at the
Sobibor death camp, where
200,000 Jews were killed by
gassings, the World Jewish
Congress reported here last
week.
According to the WJC,
European Jewish communi-
ties are outraged at this
development, coming in the
wake of the continuing con-
troversy over the erection of
a Carmelite convent in a
building which stored,
itz
canisters in the Auscw
death camps.
Virtually all of the victims
at Sobibor were Jewish. From
April 1942 to October 1943
some 200,000 Jews from
Poland, The Netherlands,
France, Czechoslovakia and
the Soviet Union were trans-
ported to the camp outside of
Lublin where they were killed
in the gas chambers and
cremated.
The church was erected on
the site of a tiny chapel which
the Nazis had converted to a
torture chamber. The church
contains no reference to being
on the site of a camp created
to murder Jews, and there is
no sign or plaque memorializ-
ing the victims, the WJC
reported.
European Jewish leaders
stressed that neither the local
Capuchin Order nor other
Catholic officials had con-
sulted or given prior notice of
the plans to establish a
church at Sobibor.
On October 14, 1943 Sobi-
bor was the scene of one of
the most courageous and dar-
ing prisoner rebellions of the
war. Some 300 Jewish in-
mates killed the SS con-
tingent and their Ukrainian
aides. After the rebellion the
Nazis razed the camp.
Meanwhile, the American
CBS television network has
announced it is filming a
multi-million-dollar movie
based on the escape, with an
international cast. Surviving
members of the rebellion will
be consultants.
