OSWIECIM, Poland – For years, the tombstone belonging to Icchak Isidor Hirsch lay hidden on the ground, covered by a tree trunk in a corner of the Jewish cemetery in Oswiecim, Poland – the town adjacent to the Auschwitz extermination camp. During World War II, the Germans destroyed 2,000 gravestones in the cemetery, evidence of the flourishing Jewish community that lived in the town for four centuries until the war.
