Mr. Ashenfelter responds
Renee from the Polish American Forum notes that her parents received two replies to letters they sent as follows:
“Thanks for your comments. Anyone who knows anything about World War II knows that Poland didn’t kill $3 million people. The Nazis did. But we should have done a better job in the caption to make clear that Mr. Weiss was standing beside a wall at the Holocaust Center containing the Poland inscription and that the inscription about Poland referred to everyone killed by the Nazis. Thanks again for the feedback. David Ashenfelter”
and
“Hello again. We’re planning to write a clarification for tomorrow’s paper about the photo, where it was taken and what the inscription meant. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to the story. We appreciate and value your comments… Best wishes. David Ashenfelter”
