Title: JEDWABNE
Caption: Police are deployed Monday, July 9, 2001, near the new memorial in Jedwabne in northeastern Poland a day before Poland's President Aleksander Kwasniewski is to lead official apologies for the murder of around 1,600 Jedwabne Jews by their Polish neighbors in 1941. The apology comes after the truth about the massacre was revelaed in a book "Neighbours" last year by a Polish emigre historian Jan Tomasz Gross, which forced Poles to reevaluate their attitudes to Jews during the Nazi occupation.
