Moscow Jews Seek Right to Be Buried in a Jewish Cemetery

The Canadian Jewish Congress today made public am appeal received from a Jew in Moscow asking Jews abroad to intervene with the Soviet authorities for the restoration of the Jewish cemetery in Moscow. The appeal pointed out that for the last two years Jewish dead in Moscow are being buried in the same cemetery as non-Jews and that all efforts by the rabbi of Moscow and members of the Synagogue Board there to change the situation have been to no avail.
