The Jewish Community of Vienna can no longer care for over 1,000 Jewish graves at the Doebling Jewish Cemetery, on the outskirts of the city it was revealed this week-end by Dr. Ernst Felsberg, community treasurer.

Dr. Felsberg said that the community has hardly enough money available for the care of the sick and the indigent. He added that the community would appreciate financial assistance from relatives of people buried in the Doebling cemetery to make possible the physical rehabilitation of the neglected graves.
