Sobibor death camp closed

The museum at the Nazi death camp where convicted war criminal John Demjanjuk was a guard during the Holocaust has been closed because of a lack of funding.

Around 20,000 people visit the site of Sobibor death camp in eastern Poland every year to pay tribute to the 250,000 Jews and non-Jews who were murdered there.

But according to German press agency dpa, the museum is no longer being allocated sufficient money by the regional government to stay open to the public.
