#2 There has never been great respect for bones of any culture or religion. The very idea of the ossuary, or chapel decorated with human bones, came from the "recycling" of cemetery grounds.

This is doubly so in Asia, as, for over two thousand years, when there were periodic plagues of anthrax and other diseases, the dead humans and animals were thrown into a mass grave, covered and forgotten.

Ironically, even after an extended time, when such graves are discovered, the only response is fear that it was anthrax, and the disease spores are still active. Typically, it is unearthed with caution, then fuel oil is poured on it and it is set afire.

A year after the battle of Waterloo, the bones of the dead still lay on the battlefield, and were collected, then ground and sold to English farmers as fertilizer.

#3 In other words, this is standard operating procedure. Had an AP reporter not passed by, none but the construction workers and the Jews of Gomel would ever know.

Yitgadal v'yitkadash Sh'mai rabbah. Magnified and sanctified is the name of the Lord.

/the beginning of the Jewish prayer in remembrance of those who died.

#4 Anonymoose, a year after the battle of Cold Harbour during the US Civil War the skeletons were still on the battlefield. They, however, were collected and burried in a proper cemetary. The callousnes of the Belarus is not surprizinf to me. There are still Soviet and German unburried dead there.

#5 trailing wife: I am afraid you are correct. Where there is no respect for life, one can hardly expect respect for the dead. The cemetery was not built by those who despoiled it, it was built by those who cherished and honored their dead, and their memory.

In fact, I am surprised that any foreign reporter would learn of such a thing, under such a bitter and repressive regime. But I am not surprised by the nature of the defilement. In many places it is the rule, not the exception.

Hundreds of shtetls existed for years in Europe and Asia, then were obliterated, with not a stone left to suggest that they ever existed. Often side by side with a European or Slavic town that did not mourn its passing, and maybe even joined in its destruction. For any reason, or none.
