An article on Monday about Israel's decision to bar Günter Grass, one of German's best-known writers, from entering the country because of his recent poem that assailed Israel for its threats to attack Iran over its nuclear program described imprecisely Poland's relationship to Nazism. While there were Nazi sympathizers in Poland, especially among ethnic Germans, the Polish people as a whole did not support Nazi ideology nor did Nazism "rise" there. It was imposed by a victorious German army.

INTERNATIONAL

•

An article on Thursday about a naval standoff between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea described incorrectly the location of the Philippine island of Luzon and Scarborough Shoal, which is claimed by both countries and is near where Philippine surveillance aircraft spotted eight Chinese fishing boats on Sunday, leading to the standoff. The shoal is 124 nautical miles west of Luzon, not east.

ARTS

The Books of The Times review on Thursday , about "Escape From Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey From North Korea to Freedom in the West," by Blaine Harden, misidentified the prisoner who tried to kill himself by jumping down a coal mine shaft. It was Kim Yong, a former North Korean Army officer — not Shin Dong-hyuk, the subject of the book.

•

A music review on Tuesday about a recital by the pianist Maxim Anikushin, at Carnegie Hall, misidentified a work by Samuel Barber that was one of the encores. It is "Let's Sit It Out; I'd Rather Watch: A Walls," not the "Waltz" from "Souvenirs."

•

An article on Thursday about the band Kraftwerk's concerts at the Museum of Modern Art misidentified the album they are scheduled to perform tonight. It is "Trans Europe Express," not "The Man-Machine." (A performance of that album is scheduled for Saturday night.)

OP-ED

An earlier version of this editorial misstated attendance in the Florida Marlins' new stadium. There had been only one game there, which was nearly sold out. Attendance had not been as low as in the old stadium.
