Jewish leaders in the USA expect solemn observation of 60-th anniversary of the pogrom in Jedwabne. Lets hope for a presence of the highest government officials of Poland at the ceremony - said the President of the Institute of National Remembrance, Professor Leon Kieres, while on the visit to the USA.

The President of IPN will meet with activists of the Americal Jewish Commitee on Monday evening in New York.

During the meeting, the President has declared his intention to promptly explain the matter of pogrom and end the investigation 'already in April or May'.

Professor Kieres stressed, as well, that the plans have been made to replace the existing plaque on the monument in Jedwabne, which indicated Germans as perpetrators of the murder with a new table informing that Poles committed the murder.
