The President of the World Jewish Congress has demanded a Polish art gallery remove an exhibition video which shows naked men and women running around a gas chamber.

The Game of Tag installation is displayed in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, as part of an exhibition looking at Auschwitz.

The video had been withdrawn last month after an initial angry reaction from Jews in the city, but has now been restored.

WJC President Ronald Lauder said: "Despite the protestations, the museum continues to show an exhibit that hurts many people's feelings."
