Bodies are Removed from Graves and
Replaced with Other Bodies in Paris A disgraceful scandal has been exposed regarding the cemeteries in Paris. Jews are duly buried and afterwards, their remains are removed and replaced by bodies of non-Jews. The remains of the disinterred are placed in storage coffins in a warehouse or simply incinerated with a total disregard of human dignity. We are living in a generation where Torah has flourished and increased.

The first Knessia Gedolah in Vienna saw a gathering of Jews unprecedented - not only in numbers but also in Torah luminaries. Dusk was fast approaching and the crowd, basking in the presence of leaders such as the Chofetz Chaim and the Imrei Emes of Gur, waited expectantly to hear who would be the baal tefilloh for minchah.
