Jewish community, not notified of unearthing of remains of Holocaust victims, is demanding an investigation and halting of construction
Human remains found at a construction site near a Jewish cemetery in the Polish town of Jaslo were recently given a Christian reburial, despite the fact that the faith of the deceased was unknown.
Poland’s chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich, says the burial was done illegally and the remains should be returned to their place of origin. In a letter to authorities in June, Schudrich said nobody had notified the Jewish community of the findings as required, and demanded a halting of works until an investigation is complete.
