This Monday, April 8, 2013 photo shows the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. At left is a monument honoring the fighters of the uprising. The revolt gave the world an enduring symbol of defiance against impossible odds, but in a Poland still adjusting to its post-Cold War freedoms, the memory of the Holocaust still engenders controversy in some quarters. The ambitious new museum that is opening in the ruins of the Jews’ prison of misery and death does not shy away from Poland's own history of anti-Semitism a sign, many say, that the country is maturing and riding a wave of confidence-building economic growth.

FILE - A Sunday Feb. 24, 2013 photo from files showing Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, the 70-year-old archbishop of Tegucigalpa, giving mass at the metropolitan cathedral in the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. To many, Honduran Cardinal Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga embodies the activist wing of the Roman Catholic Church as an outspoken campaigner of human rights, a watchdog on climate change and advocate of international debt relief for poor nations. Others, however, see him as a reactionary in the other direction: Described as sympathetic to a coup in his homeland and stirring accusations of anti-Semitism for remarks that some believe suggested Jewish interests encouraged extra media attention on church sex abuse scandals. Both images will follow him into the Sistine Chapel conclave along with other cardinals named as possible successors to Pope Benedict XVI. (AP Photo/Fernando Antonio, File)
