Pope Prays at i Auschwitz' Death Wall OSWIFCIM. F>oland - Pope John Paul II places a wreath of (lowers and kneels to pray at tlie Wall of Death in the Auschwitz concentration camp on June 7 The pope was guided through brick barracks and cells, then walked upetairs to the place known as the Wall of Death, a place where former Nail priaooers were whipped, clubbed and shot, jnd prayed silently for three minutes. Later, while speaking to his huge audience, the pontiff asked that they turn their attention to a Hebrew InscrlptkMi on a nearl)y monument which bears Inscrlptkios In more than 30 languages of the Inmates who were killed In the camp. "TWi tnscrtptkM," the pope said, "awakens the meroorv of the people whose ions and i1aiigh1ir* were Intended for total extermination This people ifewrs Its origin from Abraham, our father In faith. The very people that received mm God the Commaodmenl "Thou riialt not kill' Itself eapwIwiMd la a vtry qiacial measure what Is meant by killing It Is not pamiMiMa tor aayone to pass by this Inscription with IndlManoce." The pontiff tried to Impress 19011 the hagi crowd the need for an end to hatred, cruelty and war — "Paaeel" he cried, as thousands repeated the word: "Paaeel" (Raligloiis News Servica1^^ Photo)
