Muslim religious leaders joined members of a U.S. Jewish group at Auschwitz on Thursday for what organizers described as “the most senior Islamic leadership delegation" to visit the site of a Nazi German death camp.

The secretary general of the Muslim World League, Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, and the CEO of the
American Jewish Committee, David Harris, led the tour to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial in Poland.
