Re: [Cz-L] Mass graves

Hardy,

Thanks very much for the information. It makes eminent sense.
But needs some corrections and explanations

1. The mass grave #20 where Jewish Austrian soldiers who died in WW1
    are interred, is located to the right of the main path of the cemetery
    in area #38.
2. The mass grave for the Muslim soldiers is located in the North-West
    corner of the cemetery in area #130 and obviously, these soldiers died
    fighting in WW1.
3. The mass grave of the Romanian citizens killed by Soviet soldiers in 1940
    is located close to the southern edge of the cemetery in area #10.

I believe, even though I have no proof for this, that the mass graves for
the Muslim soldiers as well as for the Romanian citizens are located within
the boundaries of the Jewish cemetery, because at the time that these
burials took place, the areas in which these mass graves are located, where
outside the Jewish cemetery, or possibly within the cemetery, but at its
edges.

To verify this, we would need to find out, whether there are graves in these
areas dating to a time, before the mass graves were made.
