Vilnius, Lithuania – Controversial findings of human remains in the former Jewish neighborhood of Snipiskes in Vilnius, Lithuania, have prevented development of high-end apartments.
The plans for the condos are on the former site of a 400 year old Jewish cemetery.
During the Soviet era, the cemetery was ‘removed’ after already closed by a Russian czar. The Jewish community received some monetary compensation at the closing.
The current act to build on the desecrated site is being condemned globally.
At the heart of the controversy is the definition of ‘burial’; measurements of the depth of the remains are in doubt as Israeli specialists claim the remains are found at 1.5 meters and Lithuanian researchers say they are found at 20 centimeters.
This is an outrage!
this is crazy
This is lithuania !
does anyone expect any less from lithuanians?
Why is anyone so surprised………Goyish thinking to do such a thing, without respect for the dead.
If it were a Gentile Cemetery, they would do the same..dig for a luxury aptmnt complex.
The bones cannot be treated as burials.
What are they, garbage?
What do bones have to do to be treated as burials?
