The remains of 1, 200 Jewish victims of the Nazis have been exhumed from their place of burial on a collective farm in the Soviet Union and have been reburied in a local cemetery near Smolensk, it was reported here today from Moscow.
Although the report does not specify whether the final resting place of the victims is a Jewish or non-Jewish cemetery, it is believed to be the latter. Passports and other documents were found in the pockets of the decomposed garments of the victims.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
