(Jewish Group) Heavy rain reveals remains from Romanian Jewish cemetery destroyed by fascists

Heavy rainfall in northeastern Romania exposed an underground chamber full of headstones from a Jewish cemetery that was destroyed in 1943.

The cave was exposed last week at Tatarasi Park in the city of Iasi, which is near the site where allies of the Nazis stole thousands of headstones from the ancient Ciurchi Street Jewish Cemetery.

The downpour caused the ceiling of the cache to collapse, exposing fragments from dozens of ornate headstones. The oldest documented graves in the cemetery date to 1467, historian Adrian Cioflancc wrote on Facebook Sunday.

The parallels to the Holocaust have been appearing in intensity since Jan 2020.

This discovery is one more heartbreak to add to a growing list.

Thanks for posting the story here.
