In the cemetery tombs have been damaged We already could think that even if slowly but we can go on step by step with renewal of our cemetery. Now our faith has faltered. Vandals „visiting” cemetery demolished four tombs, including upper part of the monument of Martyrs. When funeral of our founder, Tibor Szántó was finished and we were walking out from the Catholic cemetery we dropped in the Jewish cemetery unsuspectingly.We started looking through the well-kept cemetery when our eyes fastened on the damaged monument of Martyrs. Going through to the cemetery we saw a shocking picture, several tombstones were lying on the ground, a fallen down stone crushed the cover of a tomb. One day before the damaging, visitors from Israel went to the cemetery (Ilanit Lajtos), he was looking for tombs of relatives. He asked why the gate of the cemetery was open, we answered, so that anybody can enter to look around how the cemetery becomes better-ordered year-by-year with the help of our foundation’s activity. Answer of this question is more difficult now. Do you think a gate which is closed all the day could prevent vandal demolishing? |
