...tone down the millennium and reminding him that a replica of Czestochowa's renowned "Black Madonna" painting-centerpiece for most of the celebrations-could only be transported around Poland in "a closed car." The warning went unheeded. Last week a group of students in Lublin grabbed the portrait after a cathedral ceremony and carried it down the main street to the cheers of tens of thousands of Poles.

One day in 1916, a group of rabbis was peremptorily summoned to Warsaw's city hall for a meeting with occupying German officials. The rabbis were terrified.
