Holocaust victims’ graves have been dug up by looters searching for treasure at the former site of the Sobibor death camp in Poland.
Sobibor museum staff taking part in an official archaeological dig found that graves had been disturbed by suspected gold and metal hunters.
A museum source told MailOnline: “There has been a big archaeological project going on, but when we started excavating we discovered that people had already been digging near to where the gas chamber had been in Camp Three.
“We found lots of pits which were nothing to do with us and clearly weren't professionally dug by scientists.
