Dear Sir,
I refer to my email of yesterday, to which I have yet to receive a response. I note that the wording of the article have now been changed to “infamous Nazi camp in Poland.” I would be sincerely grateful of you could change this to “infamous Nazi camp in occupied Poland” for the sake of complete accuracy.
Yours sincerely

Holocaust survivor Eva tells pupils her story – “infamous Polish camp”.”
Dear Sir,
I refer to the article in today’s on-line edition of WalesInline.co.uk entitled “Holocaust survivor Eva tells pupils her story”
The article makes reference to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp as an “infamous Polish Camp”.
I trust that you will amend this phrase to “infamous German Camp in occupied Poland,” as soon as possible in order to prevent any ambiguity.
Yours sincerely

I think with each such request to correct ill informed journalists knowledge, and sometimes deliberately misleading factual statements, one should add a short lesson in history on the German planned, built and run concentration camps in German occupied Europe.
Auschwitz was primarliy built to for Polish prisoners, who were its first inmates. Concentration camps were not only for Jews, but also for Poles and many othes.
