(Jewish Group) Human remains found in former Warsaw Ghetto buried in Jewish cemetery
Members of the Jewish community of Warsaw buried the bones of a person who may have died 80 years ago in the city’s ghetto during the Holocaust.
The identity of the person whose bones were buried is not known, The Associated Press wrote Tuesday. They had been discovered in the basement of a residential building by someone looking for the source of a water leak, AP reported.
In 1943, the Nazis crushed the former Warsaw Ghetto, killing as many of the residents as possible following an uprising.
The person who found the bones, Marek Slusarz, who is not Jewish, said he was glad to have been able to help bring the remains to a proper burial.
