PM Netanyahu honors Holocaust victims in Warsaw

(AP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has laid a wreath at a memorial to Holocaust victims in Warsaw at the start of a visit to Poland.

Netanyahu met with Poland's Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski on Tuesday and then visited Umschlagplatz, the spot where German Nazis in 1942 loaded about 320,000 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto into cattle cars and sent them by train to the Treblinka death camp.
Netanyahu is also to meet Poland's President Lech Kaczynski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk later in the day.
