A Polish primary school held an Auschwitz themed dance recital featuring children pretending to be gassed to death.
Some children wore concentration camp uniforms while others oversaw the gassing dressed in full Nazi regalia.
The performance took place in the village of Labunie, Eastern Poland, on December 10.
It was part of an event held to mark the school naming itself after the “Zamość Children” - Polish children who were deported to make room for resettlement by ethnic Germans.

Newsweek Polska reporter Dawid Karpiuk, who attended the event, said: "At one point, the Gestapo officers turned on a smoke machine and the gassed ‘prisoners’ fell to the floor pretending to be dead.”
He reported that similar performances were being held in thousands of Polish schools.
