Pope Visits
Polish Town

Rome (JTA) — In an emo-
tional visit last week to his
hometown of Wadowice,
Poland, Pope John Paul II
urged his countrymen not to
forget the Nazi slaughter of
Jews on Polish soil.
Speaking to a crowd
estimated in the tens of
thousands, the pontiff
recalled sadly that one-fifth
of the town had once been
Jewish and that there had
been Jewish students at his
old school, "who are no
longer among us."
He also remembered that a
synagogue had once stood
next to the school, which no
longer exists.
"We remember your suf-
fering," the pope said, refer-
ring to the Jewish people.
"And when we are here, we
must remember we are near
Auschwitz," he added, refer-
ring to the notorious concen-
tration camp 15 miles away
where 1.5 million Jews were
killed.
While in Wadowice, the
pope also commemorated St.
Maximilian Kolbe, the
Franciscan friar who died in
Auschwitz 50 years ago and
who was canonized in 1982.
The pope's trip to Poland,
his second this year,
centered around the celebra-
tion of Catholic World Youth
Day, an annual event begun
in 1986 that this year
brought as many as 1.3 mill-
ion Catholic youth from
around the world to Poland.
The event culminated in a
massive gathering at the
shrine of the Black Madonna
in Czestochowa, where the
pope repeated his call that
Europe, once divided by
communism, must now be
united through its Christian
heritage.
The pope has on many oc-
casions made public
statements urging his
followers not to forget the
Holocaust, which he often
refers to by using the Heb-
rew word "Shoah." But on
his last visit to Poland, he
offended some Jews by say-
ing that abortion is a
modern-day holocaust.
