From Radio Poland, the family of a prisoner at Auschwitz files a claim against the German government over its medical experiments at the camp.

From Deutsche Welle, according to Germany's head of domestic intelligence, there is no evidence that "far-right" protesters chased any foreigners.  (In Germany, "far-right" appears to mean "unwilling to accept unlimited immigration and expecting immigrants to refrain from assaulting German people".)

From Dutch News, Dutch police plan to strike this weekend, handling only emergencies.

From France24, French authorities detain a Liberian man for alleged crimes against humanity.
