Rabbi Avi Weiss speaks as he attends a protest to move a church situated next to Birkenau, former German Nazi death camp in Brzezinka near Oswiecim, Poland. OSWIECIM, Poland: Four US rabbis led by New York's Avi Weiss gathered on Sunday in front of a church next to the Nazi German death camp at Birkenau in Poland arguing for its removal from a site where more than a million Jews were murdered.
The rabbis argue the church should not be on the site of one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world and it violates a 1987 agreement between European cardinals and Jewish leaders that there will not be any permanent Catholic place of worship on the site of the Auschwitz or Birkenau camps."Beneath this ground is a cemetery ... their bloods are crying out from the ground demanding justice.
Some parishioners raised their voices and expressed displeasure at the rabbis' presence but didn't want to speak to Reuters.
