An archaeological dig at Sobibor has uncovered the Nazi death camp's gas chambers. The excavations in Poland have been going on since 2007, and thousands of inmates' personal items have been found at the site. They include rings, pendants, earrings, jewelry, perfume bottles, medicine cases and food utensils, Yad Vashem said Wednesday ... David Silberklang, senior historian at the International Institute for Holocaust Research and editor in chief of Yad Vashem Studies, called the discovery of the gas chambers "a very important finding in Holocaust research."
