Nuns to move
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Poland's Roman Catholic Church has renewed efforts to move 14 nuns from a convent at Auschwitz to prevent their presence marring the 50th anniversary of a Second World War uprising in Warsaw's Jewish ghetto, Reuter reports from Warsaw.
The Polish bishop whose diocese includes Auschwitz said a decision had been made to move the nuns after threats by some Jewish leaders to boycott anniversary ceremonies on 19 April. Many Jews want the Carmelite nuns resettled because they regard the convent, attached to the walls of the former Nazi concentration camp, as an intrusion on the most symbolic of all monuments to the Holocaust.
