Tradition<br />
Communicating through customs and traditions<br />
It is a Jewish custom to place stones at gravesites to<br />
honor the memory of the deceased. Over a dozen<br />
stones have been laid on the footstep of this train car in<br />
Oświęcim, Poland, honoring the thousands of people<br />
who rode through the entrance gate in the foggy<br />
background to the Nazi concentration camp<br />
Auschwitz-Birkenau.<br />
DID YOU<br />
KNOW?<br />
• Modern Poland. Poland today is an increasingly<br />
prosperous country with strong democratic institutions<br />
and an exciting, diverse cultural life. It is the<br />
fifth largest country in the European Union, which<br />
it joined in 2004. Poland continues to struggle with<br />
issues of economic inequality, with growing cities like<br />
Warsaw, Poznań, and Wrocław contrasting sharply<br />
with the impoverished, mostly rural eastern part of<br />
the country. Era 8, 20th century since 1945<br />
• Holocaust. During World War II, German Nazi forces<br />
invaded Poland, killing six million Poles including<br />
nearly all of the country’s three million Jews. The<br />
targeted killing of Jewish people and others that the<br />
Nazis determined “racially inferior” is known as the<br />
Holocaust. More than one million people were killed<br />
at the concentration camp Auschwitz, which is now a<br />
museum commemorating those who lost their lives.<br />
