Barcelona, Spain – A scandal upsetting the Jewish world has emerged from Spain where an archaeological dig in Barcelona has unearthed the bones of Jews for research purposes, in a previously undiscovered century old Jewish cemetery. Other cemeteries (some as old as 700 years) have also been desecrated in the name of research near Cordoba, Luciana and Traga.

Findings of the Rabbinical experts in Barcelona were passed on to all channels of government officials and members of the European Union, demanding immediate termination of the digging project and the retrieval and return of the bones to their rightful place of rest.
The leaders of the Jewish community of Barcelona have been kept updated with the situation, and have expressed their great concern and disappointment at the present state of affairs. Their only hope is that pressure from Israel and the Jewish organizations across Europe will affect the relevant authorities and bring the digging project to an end. [die jüdische]
Ira,
The original owners died out and the new trustees sold it out. Sure they (the new trustees) are to blame, but they are a few individuals who did wrong, not a whole bunch.
what about the “frum” people that sold it and made profit from it?? They protested against the developers but not the prominent “frum” people.
Yipeee theres a plaque there saying that there was a cemetary, meanwhile these “frum” people made $$ selling the land, still are “prominent” in the “community” while people trample on the poor people’s graves.
Ira, don’t be an idiot. They destroyed that cemetary before nayone knew about it. Pople did protest very strongly about that criminal act.
But when a cemetary in Yonkers, NY was completely destroyed and sold to developers to build a Home Depot and a Costco, right off the New York Thruway. nobody cares. “Frum” Jews that are prestigious members of the “community” profited and what jews protest in Europe, nobody cares when it happens in their own backyard.
