Jerusalem - Children were burnt alive by the Nazis in the Auschwitz death camp in 1944, according to a report in the Jerusalem Post yesterday.
Mr Naphtali Lavie of the World Jewish Restitution Organisation told the newspaper that the killings took place on the same spot where Polish Catholics have recently erected 50 wooden crosses near the entrance to the camp. Mr Lavie said he thought that the crime was the most horrific of all those of which he was aware in the Holocaust.
