Thieves steal Holocaust victims' shoes at Polish museum
Eight shoes belonging to Jewish Holocaust victims have been stolen from a former concentration camp in Poland.
The theft took place at the Majdanek museum near Lublin between 18 and 20 November, police said.
Previous items stolen from the museum include victim's ashes and a cap from a prisoner.
More than 78,000 people were sent to the gas chambers at Majdanek which was built by the Nazis in 1941 and abandoned in 1944.
The shoes were reported missing after a museum employee realised that a wire net over a display of 56,000 shoes had been cut.
