According to the World Jewish Congress, the Polish government has requested
at museums at former Nazi death camps located within Poland to replace their
Polish internet suffix "pl" with more neutral suffixes such as .com  or .eu
The move reflects an  effort in Poland to underline the fact that although
many of the death camps were located in wartime Poland, they were set up and
