Lost WWII wedding ring returned to owner’s family
A wedding ring lost at a POW camp during World War II has found its way back to the family of its owner.

The POW Camps Museum in Żagań, south-western Poland, is probably best known for the history of the WWII Great Escape, which has been immortalised in the American film of that title.
The museum might not be the kind of place where you'd think of finding a Christmas present.
But this Wednesday descendants of one of the camp's prisoners who live in the United States got just that from the museum: a moving piece of family history.
Elżbieta Krajewska was on the line to the director of the POW Camps Museum, Marek Łazarz, for the story.
