13 Matzevot were Returned to the Cemetery
30.4.1999
A Pole bought a house 2 years ago. In the garden he found 13 Jewish Tombstones and after investigation it was discovered that the yard and the house was used by the Gestapo in the days of occupation. The Gestapo removed the stones from the cemetery and paved the yard with them.
